Thomas Edison patented the first phonograph in 1878. It took awhile but we have since seen that morph into the tape recorder, stereophonic sound, transistor radio, 8-track tape, cassette tape, compact disc, and mp3's. What stands out is the demand for better, smaller and more individual sound. In the future, sound will be more enveloping, producing a "3D" effect that along with visual improvements can create a perfectly recorded scene. Music, of course, is an important part of human life. Indeed, animals seem to appreciate music also and I've heard rumors that plants thrive with it, too. Of course, it must be "good music", but since we all have our opinions on that, the need for individual sound reproduction becomes even more important. When we become more specialized in our personal sound the worry pops up that we will then become more isolated. My father has a difficult time with "rock and roll" and his definition is anything after "Rock Around the Clock" so he feels there are few places left for him. I on the other hand like music all around me and appreciate almost all the forms. I feel deprived if I don't have my hard rock when I drive; it gives me energy to go about my travels. I must admit, though, that the cutting edge of adolescent music is often not to my liking and it feels so stereotyped to say that. All in all, the direction humans are heading is positive. When our equipment becomes more accurate and smaller and the variety offered increases, I believe this can only help mankind. Yes, there is the potential of destruction or mundane offerings, but when there is so much choice the odds go up that a person can find what is "good" for them.                     |
