The future of music, I think about this often, to be more specific I think about the future of “music streaming”. Wouldn’t it be wild if we all were injected with a device that reads our minds and plays songs perfectly fitting our mood? Or when we are trying to remember a song and the device knows exactly which song is it, within 3 seconds of trying to remember? Since the radio and jukebox, to the more personal record player, cassettes, CD’s, to MP3s and files are continuing to get smaller and smaller with how we store and share music. This has all happened within the last century, where will we be in a century from now?

This also concerns live music and performance.  In only the last ten years the cell phone has shaped the way we record and document our experiences and immediate surroundings. Whenever you attend a show or “concert” you are bound to be in a sea of rectangular light boxes filming what is 20-50ft in front of you. The real human experience of attending a live performance has little to no meaning nowadays, and this is only the beginning. I do not know where we will be in thirty to fifty years from now in regards to music streaming and live performances. Holograms and digested devices are most likely in our future.
