Todays discussion dove into the idea of the changes of sound recording. Prior to this class I ned of a couple of recording and playing formats. After this class I feel like i have gained better insight to what is actually out there and has reminded me or a few things that I had forgot about. Things that I thought were interesting were the different Era of sound and the immense changes in sound from what it was until today. Sound raises some serious questions in the socio-cultural world such as file sharing, quality over quantity, and ownership questions. I find it interesting as most if not all the different technology developments we have studied this semester has raised these simular socio-cultural changes. I find this unique to technology and interesting how they are all different but raise simular questions and problems at the same time. I thought today's lecture was a good balance of both the history and discussion on technology.
