The iPod was launched on November 10, 2001, at $399. Thanks to its 5 GB hard drive, it could hold "1000 songs in your pocket." Two years later, the iTunes store opened, selling 275,000 songs the first day.
You can hear the satisfying click of the scroll wheel if you stare hard enough at the photo.

Fantastic footage of Babe Ruth during a Boston #Braves vs. Newark Bears exhibition game in New Jersey! (1935)
In 1935, press photographers used medium—or large-format view cameras, considered the most advanced camera systems. It was another 30 years before 35mm film became widely used.

Cliff Palace was inhabited by Ancestral Puebloans, once called “Anasazi,” a term now outdated.
They lived in the Mesa Verde region from around 600 to the late 1200s CE, creating homes and ceremonial spaces that showed a complex society and deep connection to the landscape. (Denver Public Library)
