RSS pulled those blogs together into an early, pre-social feeds of new things to check every morning. iPods and competitors popularized mp3 files, put audio in your pocket. A handful of random innovations coalesced into a new media.<\/p>\n<p>While<span>\u00a0<\/span><em>Podcast<\/em>\u00a0didn\u2019t enter the lexicon with quite the force of<span>\u00a0<\/span><em>Hello<\/em>, language was changed, and a now-retired product name lives on in a portmanteau.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t put the genie back in the bottle. It\u2019s hard to imagine a world without a phone in some form, without the whole vocabulary of answering the phone and hanging up and saying hello.

The names weren\u2019t preordained, but it\u2019s easy to imagine the concept being invented regardless, of the inputs coming together into something resembling today\u2019s phone and podcast.<\/p>\n<p>Jobs didn\u2019t invent the podcast, nor Edison\u00a0<em>hello<\/em><span>\u00a0<\/span>or Graham Bell the phone.

Facebook and Twitter and even blogs were a decade or more away\u2014and yet, here we were imagining what social networks would become.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany people are seeing the \u2018internet as a medium that can garner a great deal of feedback,&#8217;\u201d mentioned Audible PR director Jonathan Korzen to the Guardian in that early post coining<span>\u00a0<\/span><em>podcasting<\/em>. That feels reasonable today, when you can @mention any brand on Twitter, share your thoughts with the world faster than you can fully think them through. And yet, at that time, getting feedback on your podcast wasn\u2019t much easier than getting on feedback on a radio show. People could email your show, call a phone number if you listed one, perhaps leave a comment on the podcast\u2019s blog.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps social media didn\u2019t have to look like Facebook, Twitter, WeChat, and TikTok. Maybe there was another way to connect humanity, a different direction we\u2019ll discover someday. But social media is yet another invention that fills a need of connection that it\u2019s almost hard to remember the world without.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter launched a year after <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le built podcasts into iTunes, while Facebook was still a closed community for university students. The concept of the internet making feedback easier was already there, one of the original promises of a connected world\u2014we just needed a product to fill the need.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_inevitable_categories\"><\/span>The inevitable categories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The computer was destined to get invented\u2014though perhaps it wasn\u2019t destined to look and work the way we know it today. Perhaps in an alternate universe, Babbage completed his difference engine and instead of folding screens we\u2019d have windup phones. Maybe a different Steve Jobs would have come away inspired by Xerox Alto\u2019s portrait screen instead of its windowed interface and we would have always used smartphone-shaped screens.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to imagine ways computing could have evolved differently. It\u2019s hard to imagine computing never having been invented. Computers quickly became so crucial to modern life, that like the lightbulb and printing press and wheel, it\u2019s almost hard to imagine life without them. Their form may change, their function lives on eternal.<\/p>\n<p>The implementations come and go, fads and fashions that fit a temporary need but were ultimately replaced by something different. Incandescent bulbs served for a time, LED lights fill their slot today, something else may take their place tomorrow. Indoor lighting\u2014and the terminology of \u201cturning on the light\u201d lives on regardless. Photography is another crucial invention that will always be with us; film was merely a transitional means to an end, a way to take photos that was easily replaced with a more convenient technology.<\/p>\n<p>These most crucial innovations change us, embedding themselves into the way we see ourselves, the way we talk about the world around us. As University of Southern California\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/aeon.co\/essays\/digital-culture-built-on-the-seamless-speed-of-the-jet-age\">professor Vanessa Schwartz wrote in Aeon<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>of how airports and jets changed society, \u201cthe greatest legacy is that the jet-age aesthetic transformed subjective experience itself, ushering in a culture that would soon conceive of the \u2018networked society\u2019 because human subjects could visualize being connected without being physically present.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Email, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, photo editors, and so many other core software categories have embedded themselves so deeply in work, it\u2019s hard to imagine them not existing, harder to imagine ways to change on the original idea and make something better. For all the ways computing has changed since the first personal computers, a spreadsheet on Google Sheets on your phone today would still look familiar to a VisiCalc user\u2014and, indeed, to someone working as a manual computer on paper spreadsheets decades earlier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is there in a name?\u201d<span>\u00a0<\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikisource.org\/wiki\/Passages_from_the_Life_of_a_Philosopher\/Chapter_I\">asked Charles Babbage<\/a>, echoing Shakespeare. \u201cIt is merely an empty basket, until you put something into it.\u201d Once innovators fill that basket, put words in our mouths, it\u2019s hard to imagine that basket not having been there before. A browser was an animal who forages, looking among foliage for food, until software reinvented the word and made<span>\u00a0<\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/capiche.com\/e\/web-browser-history\">browser mean using the web<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s phone is far more than something to say hello. But the innovation of the telephone, that we could reach out and talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime, lives on, embedding itself deep enough in society that today we greet each other the way a phone book taught us to. Then came video calls, and just as quickly it\u2019s almost hard to imagine a world without them, whether as personal FaceTime and Messenger calls or team Zoom calls and Hangouts. Calls didn\u2019t have to be voice only; if anything, we expected them to gain video eventually. Technology just took time to catch up.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s far from the last category to be invented, the last innovation to change language and human behavior. Bi-directional linked notes as the most recent innovation to pop up everywhere from Roam Research to Notion feel like the<span>\u00a0<\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/capiche.com\/e\/roam-research-worldwideweb-xanadu\">cumulation of the early dreams of the internet<\/a>, much in the way social networking finally fulfilled how everyone imagined the internet would connect us. It\u2019s a new default feature, something that was missing before that is hard to imagine now not existing.<\/p>\n<p>There are more inevitable categories out there to be filled. Once they\u2019re invented, we\u2019ll look back and wonder how we hadn\u2019t seem them as indispensable all along.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article was written by Matthew Guay is <\/span><\/i><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/capiche.com\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Capiche<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018s founding editor and former senior writer at Zapier.
