Listening to music is an activity that we can do to relax and relieve stress. It is a form of entertainment that we enjoy so much. Though different people have unique music preferences, it is a fact that music is a universal language. Whatever is your ethnic background is, whether you're blonde or a brunette, whether you're a man or a woman, you still listen to music. And if not, you can just go to hell because you're an abnormal. There is no doubt that modern technology revolutionized the music industry. From tapes, to compact disks, now we have
MP3 players that we can use to download our favorite songs from the internet. And what's amazing is that you can do it in a blink of an eye. That's how technology changes our society and our lives.
However, it looks like that technology will also be the one that will destroy the music scene. Downloading songs from the internet drives a lot of musicians and record staffs unemployed because albums do not sell anymore. Of course there are singers who still continue to sell their albums but not that many as before. Apart from this, musicians are also the victim of piracy. How many copies of pirated CDs and DVDs of Mariah Carey has been sold? Who cares?! She's "Mariah" already! But what about the artists who are struggling to make a name for themselves?! Tell me, what will happen to them? They are going to struggle forever to make it big in an entertainment industry threatened by pirates who are not even as adorable as
Captain Jack Sparrow. Before buying a pirated album and downloading a song, think again. Are we in the road to self-destruction?
