Here’s a little test to find out how much you use recorded sound
and pictures:
On average, how much time each day do you listen to recorded music
either on radio or your own tape or CD?
How much money do you spend on music?
On average, how often do you watch a videotape or DVD of a movie or TV show?
How often do you go out to a movie or watch a recorded movie or program on television?
How often do you slip a CD into your computer to play a game or learn a foreign language?
How about using a Play Station or a Game Boy?
How many commercials did you see or hear since this time yesterday?
There is no right answer, but there is one more question:
What do your answers tell you?
Recording, the fifth in the 11-volume series, The Story of Communication, traces the story of recording from the time that Thomas Edison shouted “Whooo” into a funnel and heard it back.
