That Forbes article from 2005 calling the iPod a fad still cracks me up

I was digging through some old tech magazines last weekend and found a 2005 Forbes piece where an analyst said the iPod would never last because 'people don't want to carry their whole music library in their pocket.' My buddy and I still laugh about it every time we see someone streaming on their phone. Makes me wonder what current hot tech is going to look stupid in 20 years, you know?

The whole thing reminds me of people who swore landlines would never go away. Your mileage may vary, but I've noticed we're real good at underestimating how fast things change when they're actually useful.

Did you try just unplugging it and plugging it back in before switching?
