The Continuing Curve

An example of 'The Continuing Curve,' of today, is the iPod, created by the Apple inc company. This device started off as a basic, digital mp3 player with pushable buttons, however, back then, the shape and style of the iPod was new and advanced for its time. As time progressed, the iPod became slimmer, smaller, with colour graphics, which was more pleasing to the eye, and prevented the iPod from going out of style. I beleive 'The Continuing Curve' of the iPod is a result of sensuous impluse, which refers to the need to make something beautiful.
After looking at 'The Continuing Curve' reading by Penelope Hunter-Stiebel, I compared the evolution of the iPod with the fashioning of emplements. Despite the difference in time-frames, the same principles apply in terms of evolution. As the iPod style continues to progress today, we are aware of how much it has changed over the last decade
