digital technology changes our lives especially the hearing part of it. living in New York City is not a good choice for quite people because this city doesn’t sleep and too much noise, these people are trying everything to cut as much of the noise as they can but it’s hard to do that in New York City, there are people who use soundproof windows and walls in their apartments to minimize the noise but the minute they leave their apartments the noise comes back right away.

The technology era changed a lot and scientists create new ways for people to minimize the outside noise in the streets, the headphones invention take the people to a different world and get them so far from the noise in the street and in anywhere. when you put them on you travel to a different galaxy it takes you to another space. Headphones and earbuds are the way for New Yorkers to avoid ear contact with each other. it’s not a strange thing when you ride the subways train to see 90% or more having headphones or earbuds. for instance, Beat’s headphone is a famous brand that cuts the outside noise totally and that means when you have them on you won’t be able to hear anything that happens around you and that’s why people like to have them as a part of their lives.

I started making my own music back in 2000. I used a program called Fruity Loops. I created original hip hop beats that my friends and I would make raps to. Fruity Loops had a correction method that would take any note recorded and “fix” it by placing the note on the closest ⅛ of a beat. It completely removed the elasticity of the live music or analog music. The program allowed me to take samples of other music and let me stretch it or shrink it to a very precise rhythm. Krukowski feels that something may be lost to the imperfections of digital music, but I think in some musical forms, digital music creates a pleasing symmetry. It allows an amateur musician to create unique sound combinations that can be extremely enjoyable musical compositions. 

The introduction of Musical Instrument Digital Instrument or midi has allowed us to play and create an infinite number of instruments and sounds that can be put together to make new and interesting musical arrangements. These rhythmic songs are great for dancing and I think that is one of the major reasons that digital music has become the standard. While I agree there are times when the elasticity of time in music can add a certain charm, I also see the very distinct benefit to the creation of digital music. I think both analog and digital music both deserve their due place in the world of music.

In the Demi Lovato video clip “Skyscraper”, It is possible to hear the sound of the wind blowing away, the landscape gives you the information of sadness. Showing how lonely a life can be one only individual walking through the desert in slow steps with deep brown eyes focused on the screen, why? make the public involved in the specific world presented in that video, a new space being introduced to strangers who eventually will share the same video clip, but will feel it in different ways. In the video it is possible to hear the alternances of her voice that goes through a soft and calm voice to a powerful voice.
While watching that video it was possible to related with the “Ways of Hearing” material in some significant and visible ways. Seeing and hearing Demi Lovato video in some moments the environment has the background mute. An example is when we see the glasses breaking down, but we are not able to hear anything, what makes us realize that we can hear not only throw sounds but also with images, at that point we can the way the video controls the sounds and what reaction it expects from the hearer. However, here her voice will have the all meaning because throw that we are able to get involved in her environment, giving us the chance of experience a new space. We can also relate that with “digital world” once people will hear that in different days, times, etc. That way people will be able to hear the anytime and anywhere but not all of them at the same time.

The song “Happy Birthday to You” is song for singing and celebrating someone’s birthday.According to the 1998 Guinness World Records, it is the most recognized song in the English language in the world.Besides, I think it is translated to many different languages, which might also a reason why it’s so famous around the world. And maybe what some people listened in the first time is the translation version birthday song.I can’t remember when I first time heard this song, but I can still remember I felt very happy and warm when my parents and relatives sung the song and clapped their hands at the same time.From my perspective, I feel the birthday song is quite fabulous firstly because it can be sung with unaccompanied, secondly it could be easily arranged to different styles of music, which could be blues, jazz and even rock.I believe many people have the same feeling as me that although birthday song probably is not my favorite song, it’s a song we can hardly forget.

This video I found online. I like it because these sounds come from life, and each sound is something we hear every day. In our life maybe these sounds do not catch people’s attention because this is too general and we can hear about this everyday. We can hear about so many sounds in there such as butterflies’ wings flapping, lighting matches, and cats sticking out their tongues, water drops, voices of people, bubble gum, clink of glasses. The editor uses ultra-high-powered, military-grade microphones. Of course, the combination of this video also gives me a new understanding of digital music. Digital music is not only presented in digital virtualization and noisy rhythm, but also can adapt music into another form to present to the audience. This is creating.  In addition, I feel digital music is not only recording sounds. It is also recording action.  Using technology and “real” sounds to create music will be very popular.

Nowadays, digital technology is indispensable in the society where we are living. There is different king of devises; among them, the digital cellphone plays an important role in our daily life and has changed the way we used to listen music and buy some songs, also it has become an addiction for many people.

Before, people used to listen music by radio, Walkman or going to the parties. Many adults remember the period of playing tape in the radio or listening broadcast from the radio.  At that period friends gathered around the radio to listen music and dance. It was one of the wonderful moments for many adults in their life, they play, sing, talk, compete and create new friendship. Then, it arrives the period of Walkman where people are more isolated to listen their personal favorite songs, they express felling of being alone because they don’t want to be disturbed in their solitude of listening music. They try to avoid crowded and noise areas in order to enjoy their lovely songs. Furthermore, this new experience of life contributed to reduce going to the party to assist artists’ performances. It difficult to communicate with other people or create any kind of relation.

The digital cellphone has modified the way we listen to music and interact with others. Now, we don’t need to buy tape music from the store and put it into the Walkman or radio to hear the song. We can purchase it from the internet by using our digital cellphone; we can buy and download everything song from everywhere at any time. For example, we see in our everyday life, people don’t care who is close to them or watching them, but they are always concentrated to their digital phone and using their headphone to listen to music. Their minds are disconnected to the place where they are sitting, eating, standing etc. In addition to that fact, we see people listening to music and playing on their phone while crossing the street because they are addicted to their phone. This new technology revolution gives us more facilities to access to the different kind of music and makes our life easier. But the overuse of these digital devises is a huge problem in our modern society.

In the present society, digital cellphone is an essential value to listen music and can be used for different purposes but the addiction to this devise is an issue for many people.

cells phones 

The use of technology has changed our perception of life in many different ways and it has become a part of our lives. In fact, nowadays people cannot imagine their lives without technology such as smartphones, computers, and other means of technological devices. Cell phones have become very popular and are used by a lot of people everywhere. It is the most convenient and flexible device to use everywhere. It has great advantages and it makes our lives easier and comfortable. Cell phones have made my life easier in a sense to communicate with my parents everyday because they live in my back home county. So, I don’t feel any missing or they even don’t feel they miss me.  But too much use of technology takes our time and makes us lose the sense of time because actually it is a kind of addiction. The  use of cell phones has some pitfalls to it because sometimes we get so fascinated  into cell phones that we become completely unaware of what is happening around us and forget to take care of important things in our lives. When we give most of our time to the cell phones we lose our sociable life and can create social distance among our family, relatives and  friends so the use of cell phones should be in limitation to create healthy relationships. That’s how you can feel the company of each person and how they matter for you. In this way, you have got better to be sociable in real life. Couples of time the use of  cell phones have distracted me from my work and time. For instance, when I go to bed at night,with the intention of  reading and  sleeping , I always grab my phone and start to check  email,  Facebook and google search to study  and so on and when I realize time it is always late to sleep at midnight like 2 or 3 o’clock. As a consequence , I cannot wake up early in the morning which hampers my college life and other work. Further it made my body lazy and tired. There is a saying “ if you win the morning, you win the day”. It is important for us to know the value of time  as people to learn how to manage our time and not let technology take away our wellness and creativity; the use of cell phones distract us in many ways but we should use it wisely and know when to put a limit to it.  As a being smart  don’t let your  smartphone control you. Our time is valuable, so it should be used in productivity for a better future.

I have read the article that “Is Music a Good Tool For Health?” by Elizabeth Scott explains about music can help people treat disease and promote movement. Also, music can stimulate your brain to give to you some idea and help you concentrate. Music can control your heart rate and breathing which can help you to relax. I think music is a language all the people and animals know all music has feelings. Music can help each other heal their disease and benefit anyone.
In the world, every country has its own music, but you listen to music you can feel the singer’s feelings. Animals are the same as dolphins and whales. We can hear their song and know they are lonely or rejoice. We do not speak the same language, but we know it. This is music’s power. As like as I often listen to songs in other languages. I did not understand a lot of words in that music. I only knew a few words, but I knew the singer felt sad. The music was slow. When I heard this music, I am felt the man was crying. If you concentrate on the music, you can get into the world created by the music. Let you feel the singer’s heart through music. You know what he’s talking about because music is a language that reaches the heart.
Music’s’ power is great. It saves many people’s lives. Some pain management depression patients can listen to music and change their minds about committing suicide. Before I saw a news about cows. People played music for the caw. The cow made more milk. It proves music’s power is great. I believe anybody should like music when they are lonely. If you listen to happy music at the party, you can feel happier. If you listening to sad music can help you get out of the sadness.
We need music. Music is a special language that enables us to better understand other people’s feelings. We can feel it and also animals can feel it. music can help us get out of difficulty. So, I like music, because it expresses my heart.

Music is a good way to feel the moment. It has been prepared by using melody, rhythm also harmony. I really think that we all have a specific moment related to a specific song. A song can bring or create moments. However, once I had a good-old MP4 player when I was in high school. I used to have audio and video songs on that. Most of them are audio songs. On that MP4 I only have rock-metal songs. These songs helped to elevate my vibes. The reason is I used to be a soccer player and the rock and metal songs, especially by the great artist such as Three Days Grace, Disturbed, Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park, Skillet, Papa Roach, Breaking Benjamin, Tool, System of A Down, Killswitch Engage and many more helped me to build/increase my confidence during playing soccer. That’s why I played soccer at that time effortlessly, and nobody knows this reason. However, I still listen to those artists and surprisingly the specific songs by those artist brings me back to the feelings/moments what I got in the past. It feels absolutely real and wonderful. I know the time will not come, but the moment can easily go through our heats with emotions by music. Everyone loves music and I really believe that music has the greatest power to escape us from the reality or world.
