Whilst we live in a world dominated by visual epistemologies of urban experience, Michael Bull argues thatAit is not surprising that the Apple iPod, a sound based technology, is the first consumer cultural icon of the twenty-first century.

The author argues that the Apple iPod acts as an urban Sherpa for many of its users and in doing so joins the mobile army of technologies that many of us habitually use to accompany our daily lives.
