The podcast word

I haven't been doing as much research on podcasting because I wanted to do my report on digital storytelling. I did however come across an article that was hyperlinked on the wikipedia site. It was about how the word podcasting was the 2005 word of the year according to New Oxford American Dictionary. In 2004, the word of the year was blog. I remember not really knowing much about podcasting and then watching Letterman one night where he was showing off his new video Ipod. He was explaining how it all works from a "baby boomer" point of view. It is interesting how in recent years, computer technology words have entered our lexicon and become such important words. Imagine those who have passed on not knowing about podcasts and blogs ... how did they get along without them?
