Predictions

=Predictions=

Predictions for music today are that music will always have rock,rap,pop,techno,and other musics will still be around because old tends to be better when it comes to music, because there will always be the music that was here first like rock ,folk ,etc... but musicians come and go, like by death, not making money, or groups breaking up anything really but in reality we cant predict what will happen to music in the future.The way we listen to it has changed too. Previously, the most popular form of music distribution was with vinyl records, which evolved into cassettes and tapes, and then CD's. Now, the most popular form of music distribution is through digital distribution, with services like iTunes and Rhapsody. Also, music players have evolved as well, going from record players to boomboxs in the 1980's, to Sony's Walkman, and today's iPod, courtesy of Apple. Now, with the digital revolution of the mid-2000's, music distribution has moved from, on your computer, t othe streets, with people being able to download songs straight from their phones. The practice of physically storing songs onto your device is also likely to change, as the emergence of cloud music has allowed for services like Spotify to play the music straight from the source itself, the Internet, without taking up any room on your device, or to wirelessly download songs onto multiple devices. Another change likely to come in the following years is the evolution of the devices that we play music on. Touch screens are likely to become the industry standard for music devices, and the devices themselves are likely to shrink in size and weight.
