MI: LIBRARY: HISTORY: NEVER ENDING STORY

It is highly doubtful that one day people will stop playing, writing, and enjoying music. However, we are in a new century, or for that matter, a new millennium. Nothing can be assumed about the music of tomorrow. 

Today, music is more broad a term than ever. Music covers everything from the sassy art of jazz, to the head banging ache of “heavy metal.” All the while, music still means the original styles it was known for. 

So where will music take us next? To a new form? or to a revolution of our current forms? It’s easily assumed that people weren’t rapping, or swing dancing during the Baroque age. However, today we are. That’s only proof that new music, and new ways of enjoying it, are constantly being created.

Being in the “computer age” as some people call it, the power of computers is being used to simplify human life in every way possible. Today, with barely even an  understanding of music, someone can turn on their computer and use a program to write something they may never be able to play! Or something nobody may be able to play, for that matter.

In this way, you could assume music has a very uncertain future ahead of it. If everyone in the world is ultimately presented with the opportunity to write or play music, we’re going to see a lot of diversity coming to our art. We’re going to see the diversity of the human race, come to the world of music.
