Observation #16

Digitalization is taking over the world. This digital reform is being exemplified through music. There is a drastic difference in the way we buy music in this day and age. Records were replaced with tapes, which were replaced with CDs, which are now being replaced by I-tunes and single track purchases. Although this adjustment has changed the way recording companies highlight an individual’s music, I think this revolution in music purchases was vital to get people to start buying music again. It requires every song by every artist to be a hit in order to sell, and this creates a more competitive market forcing good music to be a requirement. I love it!
