As I have reiterated time and again in this blog, things evolve. Things change. Nothing in this world avoid this process. It is inevitable.
Take for example the evolution of sound--more precisely, the evolution of the way sound is distributed. I won't go much into linguistic details but it seems that human beings have this fondness for recorded sound. I do not know for sure why but I guess it is because we like to repeat sounds we like over and over again. We can't possibly have the original source of the sound repeat the sound he/she/it produces everytime we want to, don't we? There is also the need to distribute the sound on a widescale basis. Getting millions or billions of people inside one venue is very costly, if not impossible.
Thanks to man's intelligence and stubbornness, ways have been found to distribute sound at a less price and difficulty. From turntables to cassettes to CDs to Blu-ray to who-knows-what-next, media has let everyone listen to music that will be otherwise impossible for us to hear.
I guess the only disadvantage here is that transitions in between distinctive media forms take so long that every generation already has its own media equated only to it, thus further widening what we call 'generation gap'.
Good thing we come around products like this (you know this will come, no?) 3-in-1 stackable turntable from Crosley. how's this gonna help? Well, it is capable of playing records, cassettes, and CDs. It looks like a very old turntable but no, it even has a LED display. So much for generation gap.
All UPSable
