Igama elithi "iPod" sele liqhelekile, kwaye loo mveliso ixhaphakile, kangangokuthi asiyi kuphinda sikukhanyise iliso. Kodwa impumelelo yomgca we-Apple wabadlali beendaba eziphathekayo usenze sikhohlwe ukuba "i-iPod" ligama elihle kakhulu, kwaye lalingekho ngaphambi kokuba i-iPod ngokwayo iyenze.
Xa kunika amagama omtsha aqulunqwe ngamagama, iinkampani zihlala zibeka igama ngentsingiselo, isivakalisi, okanye ufuna igama likhuphe umvakalelo okanye umfanekiso. Ingaba kunjalo na apha? Ngaba "i-iPod" imele nantoni na?
Impendulo emfutshane? Hayi.
Igama le-iPod alimi nantoni na, ubuncinane ngengqiqo yokuba akusiyo impawu, kodwa igama liphefumlelwe izinto ezimbalwa. Ukuqonda ukuphefumlelwa kunye nencazelo yegama, sifuna ukulandelela izinto ezimbini zegama: "i" kunye ne "pod."
Imbali ye-Apple kunye # 39; i & # 34; i & # 34;
Ukuqala amagama emveliso kwisiqalo esithi "i" sele iqhelekile kwi-Apple ukususela ekupheleni kwee-1990. Isixhobo sokuqala "i" i-Apple eyakhululwa yi- iMac yasekuqaleni ngo-1998. Enye imizekelo yale nto ibandakanya i-laptop ye-iBook ne-iMovie ne- iTunes . Nangona ezinye zezo mveliso zihlala, i-Apple iye yawayeka i-prefix ye "i" kwimveliso yayo-i-MacBook ithathe indawo ye-iBook, kwaye iifoto zatshintsha iPhoto- nakuba ihlala kwi- iPhone , iMac, ne- iPad , phakathi kwabanye.
Ngokubhekiselele apho i-original "i" e-iMac ivela khona, kukho iingcamango ezahlukeneyo. Abanye bathi "i" imele yokuqala yokuqala yegama lokugqibela likaGosa oyiNtloko yeComputer uJoseph Ive. Kodwa inyaniso, kukuba "i" yema "intanethi," ngokutsho kukaKen Segall, owayekhokela iqela eliza negama.
Xa i-iMac yokuqala yaziswa, i-intanethi yayiselitsha kwaye ayisebenzisi ngabantu abaphantse njengabantu namhlanje. Indlela oyifumane ngayo kwi-intanethi yayingummangaliso kubantu abathile, ngoko ke iimveliso zingazama ukunyanzelisa ukuba azinakukunceda kuphela ukuba zifike kwi-Intanethi, zenza kube lula. Yonke into eyayifakwe kwigama kunye nokuthengiswa kweMac yasekuqaleni.
Emva kokuphumelela kwe-iMac, isiqalo "i" sandiqala ngokukhawuleza kwiminye imikhiqizo ejoliswe kubathengi esuka ku-Apple. Ngokuqala kwe-iPod ngo-2001, inkampani ikhulumile iMac , iTunes, iMovie, ne-iBook. Ngokucacileyo, "i" yayingeniswe kwi-branding ye-Apple.
& # 34; I-Pod & # 34; Uvela kwiSayensi yeFiction
Ngexesha lokusungulwa kwe-iPod, i-Apple yayicinga ngemveliso yebanga labathengi njengenxalenye ye "hub digital". I-copywriter ye-freelance uVinnie Chieco wayeqeshwe ukuba asebenze ngokuqamba igama ngegama kwaye wayezama ukubambisana kunye negama elithi "hub," ngokubhekiselele kumanqaku amanqaku ngesihloko, kodwa ngokugqithiseleyo ukugqitywa kweli nqaku.
UCieco wacinga ngemipaka engama-hubs, okwangoku kukhokelela ukuba acinge ngendawo encinci ye-movie "2001: i-Space Odyssey," ekhangeleka njenge iPod yasekuqaleni. Emva kokuba "2001" yayingqondweni, eyakhokelela kwelinye leengcaphuno ezidumileyo kwi-movie: "Vula iingcango ze-pod bay, Hal."
Ngegama elithi "pod" ukusuka kwisiqulatho kunye ne-Apple "I", uphawu lwe "iPod" lwazalwa.
I & # 39; s Ayikho & # 34; I-Intanethi evulekileyo I-Database & # 34;
Ukuba ukhangele nge-Intanethi ngencazelo yegama le-iPod, enye yeempendulo eziqhelekileyo ozifumanayo "I-intanethi evulekile egciniweyo." Abantu abakholelwa oku kuthetha ukuba igama lefowuni kuba yinkqubo yokusebenza ihamba.
Akukho nto yezinto eziyinyaniso. Inkqubo yokuqala yenkqubo yokusebenza ye-iPod ayizange ibe negama likawonkewonke kwaye sele ibizwa ngokuba yinkqubo yokusebenza ye-iPod.
Okwesibini, i-iPod yasekuqaleni yayingenazo izinto ezinxulumene ne-Intanethi kuwo onke. Kwakumdlali we-MP3 owafumana umxholo wayo ngokuxhuma kwikhompyutheni yakho, kungekho i-intanethi. Ngoxa i-"i" yokuqala kwimveliso ye-Apple yaqalisa intsingiselo ethi "i-intanethi," ngexesha i-iPod ehamba kunye, "i" yayiyingxenye ye-branding ye-Apple kwaye ayizange imele nayiphi na into.
Ekugqibeleni, igama elithi "database evulekilekayo" ayinakuqonda xa ifika kumdlali we-MP3 (okanye nayiphi na into, ngokwenene). IiNgcaciso ziyi-software ezithi, ngokucacileyo, ziphatheka ngokufanelekileyo. I-iPod ayizange 'ivule' ngokukhawuleza.
Ukubiza into ethi "i-database evulekile ekhutshweyo" idibanisa ukuphatheka kwesixhobo kunye nokuphatheka kwesoftware. Njengombinzana, kudideka kwaye kungabonakali-izinto ezimbini ze-Apple ziphantse zize zikho.
Ngaphantsi
Kulapho unayo. Ngexesha elizayo umbuzo wokuba iPod isigama esichaza kwingxoxo, uya kuba nempendulo. Unokubethwa kwimibutho okanye ulungele ukukunceda iqela lakho liphumelele ubusuku bobusuku obulandelayo.
