I enjoyed this article very much because it’s related to the IT world which is where I’ll hopefully land. The relatively rapid increase in computer usage and involvement, many industries have had to quickly adapt to the changing world. It is extremely hard for a business to thrive in today’s economy without somehow incorporating computers whether it be having a website, or taking and processing credit card payments, etc. The music industry happened to be one of the quickest industries to be hit by the changing times. As computers became mainstream, people developed ways to try and bypass the expensive tag that music had in the 90s. There is no coincidence that Napster’s main demographic was college students. Students who often don’t have spare money to be spending on a luxury that is music, Napster appeals to these individuals the most and it has since then caused a ripple in the industry. It’s caused us to move away from CDs and physical means of listening to our music in favour of ways more accessible and efficient.
