Timeline About Music Devices Evolution

Over time, music devices have evolved from the phonograph in 1877, which allowed people to listen to music at home and share recordings, to vinyl records dominating in the mid-20th century. In the late 1950s, magnetic tape and cassette tapes were introduced, allowing people to listen to music in cars. In 1979, the boombox popularized portable music and contributed to the rise of hip hop. Sony introduced the Walkman in 1979, allowing people to take music with them anywhere. In the 1980s, CDs replaced cassettes and the Discman provided portable CD playback. MP3s in 1998 and the iPod in 2001 enabled people to carry thousands of songs digitally.

TIMELINE ABOUT MUSIC DEVICES EVOLUTION

STUDENT 1
Have you ever wondered how we got from this to this?
Well, my friends and I will tell you.
In 1877, the phonograph, Thomas Edison's invention, meant that for the first
time people could listen to music from home and could also share and sell it.
As the popularity of the phonograph grew, the Columbia Records company
controlled the industry and for the next five decades the phonograph took
different forms. From that cylindrical shape to flat disks until they were
finally replaced by vinyl.
STUDENT 2
In 1948 Columbia Records introduced Long Play, allowing multiple songs on a
single record. Vinyl dominated the industry for most of the 20th century.
Rock and roll, blues and country music, and artists such as Chuck Berry, Elvis
Presley and Johnny Cash dominated the industry in this format.
But in the late 1950s, new technology would arrive again.
STUDENT 3
When RCA introduced magnetic tape it was great, because you could record
your music on a smaller device and in the late 60's, driving and listening to,
for example, the Beatles was possible because many cars offered cassette
listening devices. That was so exciting. In 1979, the Boombox was invented,
which would contribute to the beginnings of hip hop.
But it would be Sony Music that in the same year changed the game with the
iconic Walkman. We could all take our music with us wherever and whenever
we wanted.
STUDENT 4
But it doesn't end there. With the rise of the digital era. In the early 1980s, Phillips
and Sony created the CD. The difference with the cassette was that you didn't
have to do this (mostrar como se devolvía un cassette) to return the whole tape (if
you don't understand, ask your parents), but you could choose the song you
wanted to listen to, and it had more storage capacity. In that same decade also
came the Discman with which you could take Nirvana, Tupac, Brithney and many
more artists while exercising, working, or just walking. But in the mid-nineties...
STUDENT 5
In 1998 the first MP3 was created (7600 songs) and with the appearance in
2001 of the iPods (30,000 songs) (I’ve got an ipod here S.J.), a massive
download of music started and many artists had to make more tours to get
more money because they could download illegally through the internet. In
2011, the politician Lamar Smith in 2011 created the SOPA law against
piracy.
STUDENT 6
Meanwhile, streaming was coming. I Tunes was created in 2001, Spotify in 2006,
and many more like Deezer, Apple music, Google play and YouTube music.
For our generation, streaming platforms have become the best way to organize,
play and download music legally.
These platforms were created to distribute digital multimedia content using the
computer or smartphone network, and in that way, everyone can enjoy music and
other content.

With all this information we have some questions:

What does tomorrow hold for us?


Are we entering a new era?
How will music be played in the future?
And you, what do you think?
