Recorded Music lecture

I'd like to start this off by saying, I am a musician, and if I do say so myself, I had thought I knew a lot about the history of music and recording and such. The keyword in that sentence was, thought. I learned so much from this particular lecture, with a lot of the information actually being useful for me in my personal life. I, like most, was aware that before we had digital, we had CD, and before we had CD, we had records and tapes. But I thought that that was all, I was never aware of the fact that any of that, the first object we recorded music on, was a tin cylinder. A lot of the information we learn in this class, is mostly new to me and new to a lot of the students because a lot of the times, it's about things we take for granted or its things you don't necessarily need to know about and are therefore not taught about in normal schools. This was one of those cases. And I personally really enjoy learning about these things, my opinion is that it's better to have more knowledge than needed to survive if you really want to live. But back onto recorded music, which is something I think a lot of people in our modern society take for granted. Because the kids today grew up with it in the palms of our hands at nearly every second of the day. So it was quite eye-opening to hear about how my struggle originally went into it. I thought a lot of the information gone over in this lecture was more context that we would need later on and not something that would be that important in the grand scheme of things, but I still really enjoyed and found this lecture interesting.
