supermarketshe wanders the aisles in a self- contained bubble,thanks to
her iPod digital music player. Through those little white ear buds,
Wolfisch Cole listensto a playlist mixed by her favorite disc
presenter-herself.
At home, when the kids are tucked away, Wolfisch Cole often escapes
to another solomedia pod- but in this one, she's transmitting instead of
just receiving. On her computer weblog, or
journal chronicling daily news of her life, then shares it allwith the
Web.
Wolfisch Cole-who also gets her daily news customized off the Internet
and whose digitalvideo recorder (DVR)scans through the television
wasteland to find and record shows that suither tastes-is part of a new

about me-me-media -
where you want it.
Rosen and others trace the beginnings of the iMedia revolution to the
invention of the TVremote, which marked the first subtle shift of media
control away from broadcasters and intothe hands of the average couch
potato. It enabled viewers to vote with their thumbs-making iteasier to
abandon dull programs and avoid commercials. With the proliferation (激

of the Internet, controllingmedia input wasn't just a luxury.
