Listen "The Dodo Lives"
Episode Synopsis
The iPad 2 is the archetype of proto-obsolescent technology. It embodies Thorstein Veblen's phrase 'conspicuous consumption.' Yet there is one company that makes iPad cases built on the bookbinding tradition. Dodocase, based in San Francisco, provides a reminder to users of new media platforms that skill, care and history must attend any decisions about rapid obsolescence and wasteful consumption.
