The entertainment industry has a wide range of topics. They include:Radio, Print media, television, music, film, electronic games, Internet services, and sometimes cell phone subscribers. I know Itunes is a big factor when it comes to music. When this topic was brought up in class. The professor ask, who can remember the last time they bought a CD? Only a few raised their hands. 40 percent of music was bought online and 21 percent worldwide.
It has gotten to the point where you don't have to buy the music. They have websites such as, limewire, frostwire and many more to download music. Realistically, people can download any type of media. Whether its videos, pictures, movies, software. A lot is available on the internet and at this point and time, its only getting better as technology progresses.
A big debate is who's next to be greatly effected? First it was music; then print media. Personally, I think the radio will be effected the most. Everything else has been accounted for due to websites like limewire and movie sites.
Many years ago, people use tapes and radio, I cannot remember when people began to use CD and CD player. But now most people have MP3, I have to say that these things are changing so fast that they are getting into our lives but we haven't realized.They brought real convenience.
ReplyDeleteWhen technology proliferates it creates new industries and eliminates old ones. Kind of like the 1979 Buggles's song "Video Killed the Radio Star." Physically printed media will likely fall before the radio industry does. It's also interesting to notice the different levels of development in different countries.
ReplyDeleteWhile the radio may never be totally disbanded in America, because of military use, it may day stop producing commercial broadcasts. Even though this may happen in America, the radio will still be in developing countries for the next 100 years.
I think the big problem with buying CD's was there were so few songs on it that you would actually want to listen to. Fifteen dollars is a lot to pay for one song and it's much more convienant to carry around small portable electronics then a box of CD's and CD player. Anything that can be made smaller and more portable is more user friendly.
