One thing that I never really thought about until the last year was how much easier music is to get a hold of. Growing up all of the music i was ever use to hearing was from putting taps into a player and listening to it and after while re-winding it it order to play it again. We had and still have a fairly nice collection of records that still work beautifully but even until CD's were popular it seems like music was a lot more of a hassle to get. But now in days whether people really think about it at all or not, its extremely easy to buy music. Itunes has stormed the internet with easy and fast downloading of music that can be burned into a CD or more commonly put into an MP3 player, ipod or phone. Although everyone knows this, I wanted to talk about creation of records. When records were first created it all came from the original idea that you could put indentation into tin foil and be able to go back over lighter to re-hear whatever vibrations were around the tin foil tracer when the machine was running. The idea was first invented around the same time as the first light bulb and was perfected soon after that as well. The record was improved more and more and was the main source for music until the creation of 8-tracks which then quickly transferred into the CD extremely fast with the invention of computers. That's pretty neat if you ask me.

I think it's amazing at how technology has progressed over the years. We can pretty much access anything at the touch of our fingertips now. This is an awesome post explaining the evolution of it!
