Purpose:
To orient different technological innovations in history
Write an essay about four relevant innovations in audio and music technology that carry us into the present day. These items should be related to an overarching theme – there should be a connection between the items.
You will need to explain each technology’s salient features and provide justification for why you included this item in your essay. Your justification should include evidence from Katz readings and class lectures/discussions. The technologies you choose can be a physical object such as the phonograph, an intangible object such as the mp3, or a broader idea like streaming services.
1. Salient features/how it works (for an expert)
2. Context (what else was happening in the world? Other important related innovations?)
3. Important musical impact
4. Year invented
5. Connection to overarching theme
