The article I read was on the future of the music industry. The whole idea of the article was showing the progression of the music industry has been very inconsistent From prospering, failing, evolving, to even ending industry has been through many periods of change. The most current season is being overrun the technological advances. With these technological advances the music industry within all the advances a double-edge sword. Live concerts what musicians use to live by has lost its value because many programs and websites such as Itunes and Youtube have been become a better and more efficient because its more of a convenience. This is because both Itunes and Youtube can be accessible by laptop, phone, tablet, and even TVs. Musicians that suffer from this evolution the most is the classical and jazz musicians because traditionally all of their performances have been in front of a live audience. However due to technological advances these classic forms have been able to survive. Today most concerts that aren't top 40 popular usually stream their concerts so then they are able to still get the audience and keep themselves relevant in the music industry. Overall, the author believes that as time keeps advancing the success of the music industry will increase as well. I agree with the author's opinion of the future of the music industry because music will always have it's ups and downs that's fine because it's in its own world. It can be difficult at times to be on track with the world when the world's trends change really quickly. But music will always find a way to get back on track with the rest of the world.
