At first this development seemed positive. <\/p>\n
There were new programs on the radio and television. More
\npeople heard music through the new technologies than ever before.
\nCertain musicians proved to be very good teachers within the new
\nmediums. <\/p>\n
Many people were inspired.<\/p>\n
Radio and television offered new ways to experience
\nextraordinary events and entertainment. They were fun and they felt
\nfreer than the traditional entertainment formats. As those technologies
\nmatured, each venue of delivery, called stations or channels, became
\nfocused on its particular genre.<\/p>\n
Over time the audiences became equally specialized in their listening habits. <\/p>\n
Even movies changed. Instead of having to see them in theaters
\npeople could rent the films and take them home, watch them in pajamas
\nand make their own popcorn. Much later, they could even see them on
\ntheir telephones! <\/p>\n
Meanwhile the Internet appeared, offering every conceivable form of
\nentertainment at the click of a device called a “mouse”. Within a few
\ndecades the Internet had spread across the globe in what was correctly
\ncalled a “world-wide web”.<\/p>\n
The organizations did not understand how important the technologies were.\n<\/p>\n
They created websites, social networking pages, and email
\nmarketing campaigns, but they had not understood the magnitude of the
\nramifications.<\/p>\n
Ironically, with the appearance of the Internet, the musical choices
\nreadily available were now increasingly diverse. Just as tastes had
\nbecome specialized before, they now became infinitely catholic in
\nnature. <\/p>\n
This was a period when people were very interested
\nin personal electronic devices. Increasingly they liked to listen to
\nmusic alone. <\/p>\n
In other words, the new technologies had implications on listening habits, both in terms of content and context.<\/p>\n
In terms of personal and societal behavior much had evolved. <\/p>\n
Since the organizations didn’t notice the implications, they didn’t make big changes. <\/p>\n
They were in great danger, but they could not see it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
