Why Recorded Music Matters

Why Recorded Music Matters

During the rise and fall of the music industry many things changed. New styles were discovered, and new sounds were created, and with this evolution, came recorded music. I found interest in this topic, as I am a music enthusiast. If you think about music now, and what a big impact the music industry has on people, then you could easily see why recorded music is so amazing. 

Music often communicated beliefs, emotions, stories, and educational lyrics, and without the development of music, things could not be shared as far and wide as they have been. Taking the 21st century into consideration, a lot of people find international singers to be entertaining, especially Korean singers like BTS (방탄소년단) or CL. The impact BTS has had on American fans is astonishing, and without the chance to have their music recorded, they wouldn't share their music internationally, or to people who didn't live close to them. 

The fact that recorded music has had such an impact in American history also amazes me. My generation can go back and listen to songs by the Beatles, or by Elle Fitzgerald, and without recordings of them, the music industry would be broken, in fact, it be just another small hobby. Musicians, singers, rappers, and producers are constantly changing new trends nowadays, and without the constant change of music development, the world would be quiet. And boring. And that's why it's so important to see how far music has come, from inconsistent, improvisation, live performances, to Ed Sheeran having almost 31 million Spotify followers alone. 

Even though I personally take recorded music for granted quite often, I understood more about the importance of it after listening to this talk. Artists in the music industry and creating their own masterpieces that can luckily be shared with so many people that can be inspired by their work.

Impacts of the Metal Type Press Response

Impacts of the Metal Type Press Response By Piper Shiflet Today in class we discussed the impacts of the metal moving type press, created by Guttenberg, and how it effected the history of writing. We first talked about different things that improved when we starting to produce better books and other things, with the metal type press. We discussed it’s impact on religion, the spread of literacy among the lower class, how it improved our economy, and how it helped people share knowledge. I thought sharing knowledge was one of the most important topics we discussed, and the topic of how important the printing press was had also become relevant in our discussion. Being able to share knowledge meant that people from further distances didn’t have to hear the word from another person, and word of new inventions and discoveries would no longer be jumbled up like a game of telephone. Having a printing press meant that people could make documents about scientific discoveries that could chang...

My Response To Isabella Bonilla's: A Reflection Of the Past 72 Hours

My Response To Isabella Bonilla's: A Reflection Of the Past 72 Hours Isabella ( http://isabelladorafirstblog.blogspot.com/2018/10/a-reflection-of-past-72-hours-classes.html) gave a compelling blog entry about our discussion talking about the current events going on in America. Though this did not happen in our official Journalism 1 class, I found this to be an amazing well thought out article. Isabella mentioned what we learned from Mr.Miller, quoting the point where he said, "It's okay to be scared, but we must stick together." She not only applied some elements of the seven yardsticks of journalism, but she also pointed out things she noticed. This was especially helpful since I hadn't realized some of the things she had made points on. In one section of Isabella's blog she talks about how some news sources and forms of media make things seem more extreme than they are, stating, " but sometimes they overindulge in descriptions and blow proportio...

Why We Still Go To The Movies

Why We Still Go To The Movies Recently in class we discussed the reason why people still attend movies at a theater when the technology is offered to us, giving us the chance to stay home to watch movies. We began by discussing ticket sales of the past, and how different types of movies began to be directed at niche audiences. This is what I found interesting. In the past, news papers had appealed to most people, since they had a section for comics, sports, news, etc. So hearing that movies had changed the game a bit intrigued me. I didn't grow up reading news papers, so I didn't really understand what it was like to see such a change, from a mass audience to niche one. While discussing why people still go to movies a lot of points were brought up about the 'movie experience'. But that went beyond comfy recliner chairs and movie theater popcorn. We talked about the surround sound speakers and and big screens, (my thoughts going straight to 3D movies that you can...
