Luddites Unite!

I think that more and more technology is basically ruining everything.

It is my considered opinion that technology has ruined popular music. Peer-to-peer file sharing, music downloads, streaming services have all be destroyed music as a viable career for many artists that were really good. Why you ask? Only huge artists that were big before the big tech eruption of twenty years ago are really making any money, or so it seems. My music teacher basically agrees with this, he feels the whole music download thing has made a situation for musicians go from bad to worse. Now some might argue that there are some great talents out there that never would have gotten any exposure but now with the Internet, YouTube, Facebook and other social media outlets they can self-publish and get recognized for their talents without the middle-man record company. This might even be true, but I feel like this has destroyed more than it has given us. Sounds like the record business is a pretty shady business in the first place, but it's even less attractive for good acts now.

Just my humble opinion, pretty much fact free. Feel free to correct me.
