We can now record and play music in new ways thanks to changing technology.
Twenty years ago, we used to listen to music on CDs only. A few years later, more
musicians went online with their laptops and we could download music and use MP3
players to listen. Now, almost everyone can use computers and search engines to
look for their favourite songs. So, how will technology change the music industry in
the future?
In the future, we’ll regularly watch live virtual reality concerts from home. We’ll put
on our headset just before the concert starts and be ready to go. There might not be
many virtual reality concerts at the moment. But, these concerts are likely to become
very popular.
Musicians are always looking for new ways to connect with listeners of their music.
New technology, known as a ‘block chain’, will allow musicians to share new songs
directly with fans. This’ll put an end to money loss through file sharing. Some artists
are going to try out this technology soon.
Finally, we won’t only listen to music made by humans. A machine can also learn
how to write songs. Humans and machines will work together to make, hopefully,
great music.
Of course, the great thing about the future is that none of us really knows what will
happen. What we do know about the future is that, with all these incredible
developments in technology, music’s going to be exciting!
