Music Technology and the Future

Thread Prompt: Streaming services enable music lovers the ability to find more, new, and different/unfamiliar music. In turn, this creates potential revenue for the artist if there are enough streams or if new listeners eventually purchase the songs or albums. On the other hand, musicians need to make money before producing more music, embarking on a tour, or creating merchandise, all primary sources of music-related income for Western popular artists in the twenty-first Century

What are the potential risks? If music-making is no longer deemed worth the effort beyond it being a hobby, free market economics suggest that fewer musicians will create and release material. This suggests that popular music will continue to become more disposable, which leads investors—in this case, record companies—to mitigate risk by taking fewer chances on unknown commodities. Due to concerns about revenue margins, record companies would be inclined to promote and support fewer artists who have wider appeal (more bang for the buck) over an expanded list of smaller artists. However, while part of this theory is observable in how few musicians are given radio airplay, new music continues to be created and released by unknown artists due, in part, to the improvement and ubiquity of home-recording technology.

Find and present examples of artists on both sides of the production and streaming arguments.
Form and support your position as a music consumer who is a Christian.

Sample Solution

Challenges is always in a part of ones’ lives; people can avoid it for sometimes, but they cannot avoid it forever. In order to get rid of it, we have to confront it someday. Based on Nick Vuijcic’s life, even though there are many challenges lining up for him, he is never afraid to confront all of it. Getting bad judgments and bullying, he has almost suicided at the age of 9 that he tried to drown himself (Vujicic, 2012). Nothing could made him suffer any less; he has experienced every worst things in his life. However, due to the determination, he has the will of confronting these challanges. As being like a spring, he always stand up no mater how hard difficulties press him down. The challenges doesn’t make him weak, but stronger. Without arms and legs, he can do every thing that he wants such as swimming, playing golf, surfing and even sky-diving. There is maybe a question raised about if someone can do in that situation. In my perspective, it’s not likely for someone are able to do it under that circumstance, but it’s possible. Nick states that “for every disability you have you are blessed with more than abilities to overcome your challenges.” (Vujicic, 2010) this theory is not only work on him, but also on many famous people that I know. For instances, Stephen Hawking, one of the greatest physicist, is now paralyzed. Franklin D.Roosevelt, suffered polio disease, was excellent president of the United States with the four-term serving. The idea here is telling that don’t let any excuses or situations dampen your spirit. Since, if life is not struggling, you are not actually living in it. Therefore, let’s face it and overcome it!
