But together, they ushered in an era of reality TV from which we still have not recovered. By comparison, The Real World(which debuted in 1992) was a measured, legitimate ...
Apple was founded in 1976, so has existed as a company for 45 years. But in 2001, as the music industry struggled to control its revenue streams in the era of file sharing and piracy, Apple developed the iPod, the most profitable mp3 player of its era, along with iTunes, an online marketplace that hastened the obsolescence of physical media (well, ...
Apple’s devices were to some extent developed in response to the Wild West days of file sharing (and precipitous revenue loss) the music industry experienced due to the rise of platforms like Napster and LimeWire.

The reboot of Doctor Who, which premiered on March 25, 2005, marked The Doctor's first time onscreen in live action form in 16 years—which is a pretty significant amount of time, even for a Time Lord. Although Christopher Eccleston lasted just one season as The Doctor, he helped rekindle interest in a character and a franchise that first began broa...
Netflix opened for business in 1997 as a mail-order subscription service for cinephiles that offered a vast library of films for rent. But in February 2007, at almost exactly the same time the company was celebrating the delivery of its billionth DVD, Netflix was also in the process of transitioning to streaming. And it wasn't just licensed content...
Kardashian was far from a household name when the soon-to-be first family of reality TV, who would go on to become synonymous with tabloid exploits and aspirational wealth, debuted Keeping Up With the Kardashians on October 14, 2007.

When Stephenie Meyer wrote the first book in her Twilight series in 2005, it seemed impossible for anyone to imagine how the series, and its eventual film adaptations (the first of which was released on November 21, 2008), would radically transform the landscape of fandom. Even at San Diego Comic-Con, which had long been a destination for every kin...
RuPaul became a pop culture icon at least a decade before RuPaul's Drag Race premiered on February 2, 2009, and it was far from the first series to spotlight LGBTQ culture in all its wonderful joy.
