Music Through the Ages
Music Through The Ages
In our world technology is always changing, that doesn’t stop at music. There have been many changes in the way people listen to music. Technology has been a part of music ever since the early 1900’s.
In the 1900’s people started listening to music using a gramophone. Which looks kind of like a record player except it has a crank of the side which you turn to make the music play. Some of the disadvantages to the gramophone is that you could not play voices or people singing and you can only listen to a couple of songs.
Later in the mid 20th centenary a new music device came out. This was called the record player. A record player was a farley big square machine with a special needle that could be moved to allow different ‘records’ to be put in playing different songs.
The record player dominated the music playing industry but as many things the record player grew old and was over taken by tapes or cassettes. These smaller devises were similar to the VHS except they played music. They were little plastic square containers with wound film. These compact squares are played in a “boom box”. Although they are huge compared to a modern day ipod they were the first portable music player of there time.
Soon the “tape” was becoming too bulky even though it was small and was replaced by a thin disk we know as a c.d. A c.d. was played in a c.d. player and is still used today but, is being threatened by a small thin music device called an mp3 these mp3’s are always changing with more memory thin and better looking.
The mp3 is probably going to be around for a while but who knows? There could be a new device being drawn up every day. Technology is always changing.
Do you think the changes in music will effect how much people communicate with each other?

yes i think that changes in music will change because it changes the way you think and the more portebel the or worse if people have music with them all the time then they might not talk with others because they wont here any thing eles. if there are many more canges people will do nothing but music they will lose intrest in every thing eles i agree with evrything you said.
ps
very intresting
I don't think there will be no more eletronics to listen a music. It just hurts your ear.
i think changes in music will not affect how much people talk. just because people get better and improved technology. MY BROTHER LISTENS TO HIS I POD AND HE STILL TALKS TO ME JUST AS MUCH AS HE WOULD WHEN HE WAS NOT LISTENING TO IT, UNLESS HE CANT HERE ME. THIS IS WHY I THINK CHANGES IN MUSIC PLAYERS DO NOT AFFECT PEOPLE TALKING
i dont think that i will change our communication skills because it almosty has nothing to do with communication but there is a small chance that people will pay more attention to music then talking with people
