“Music can change the world because it can change people.”- Bono
Music is a big part of our society during this present time. Everyone has their own taste of what they like and dislike. Many people now have the power to convert the old music they once adored to a little handheld music player. Because of the influence of folk artists, as well as soft rock artists, on the performers of today, music will continue to be made and played through these little contraptions.

Since the creation of computers, iPods, mp3 players, cell phones and so on, we, as a society, are constantly connected to music and the outside world. Today, music can be heard blaring through the headphones of a kid walking by on the street, someone’s car speakers driving by or a random person sitting at a table with their laptop open and speakers playing one of their favorite songs. No matter where you may be, or how bad it may sound, music is still heard.
Used to, back before all these crazy inventions, the only place to buy records, not even CDs, was record stores, not an iTunes music store or Limewire. The 20th century started out music technology with record players, 8 tracks, then tapes, CDs, which has now developed into mp3 players and touch screen iPods. All occurred over a time span of a few decades.
Since these changes in technology occurred, we can connect to the roots of music easier by sifting through lists of songs off of a screen instead of those old records most deny having out of embarassment. Soft rock and folk artist's music are hard to find within stores nowadays because most people are looking for the new popular music of today. Because of technology, these oldies can be found simply by typing in the artist and buying a song for around 99 cents.
Continuing to change, technology, as well as music itself, will constantly be setting new standards for upcoming products and each new technology will be just a little bit better than the last.

Whether it’s the latest touch screen with built in speakers or that old junky CD player tucked away in a drawer, the way people listen to music will always be changing and conforming to the next generation of technology.
