Time's a' Changin'

The 21st century has really changed music around the world. It's so easy to aquire any song that we hear on the radio or on someone else's ipod. The invention of iPod's and Mp3 players has truly revolutionized music. The world is being unified in the music community because people over in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America know American bands and American music. Only twenty years ago there was no such thing as an iPod or mp3 player to download music from the internet and the internet now is so much more advanced than it was in the twentieth century. It takes a little bit of surfing the web to find a song to download off the internet for free. The American lifestyle seems to be influencing most of the world today and I believe it is due in part to American artists and technology with Apple and everything. We watched a video the other day on how Mongolia or some Middle Eastern country had started to play with rap beats and music because that's what America is producing with popular culture and we are influencing the style of music people play throughout the world. Technology has definitely changed everything about the music we listen to and how or why we listen to it. The world is becoming smaller everyday because everything is so easily accessible.
