(xx·南安模拟)

The iPhone, the iPad, each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has bee a fad(时尚). Apple

has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” —and many other brands are following

suit. The BBC’s iPlayer—which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet—adopted

the title in xx. A lovely bear—popular in the US and the UK—that plays music and video is called

“iTeddy” . A slimmed-down version of London’s Independent newspaper was launched last week

under the name “i” .

In general, single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as

e-mail and e-merce first came into use.

Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of

Independent’s “i” , it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.

But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i” . Why not use “a” , “b” ,

or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London,

“i” works because its meaning has bee ambiguous. When Apple uses “i” , no one knows whether

it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even

when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition, “ he says.

“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability. “ adds Thorne.

Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on

the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and they love personalized

products for this reason.

Along with “Google” and “blog” , readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top

20 words that have e to define the last decade.

But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with

“2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced

and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably disappeared. (325W)
