                               The  media,  too,  is  spreading  out.  In  what  was  once  mostly just  a "newspaper
                        world",  we  now  have  instant  access  to  the  world  around  us.  With  advances  in
                        technology  and  more  people  turning  to  the  internet,  we  now  stand  in  a  world
                        where  cyberspace  is  right  at  our  fingertips.  The  media  of  today  have  expanded
                        into  so  many  different  realms.  What  our  generation  grew  up  on  is  no  longer  what
                        the  next  generation  is  currently  being  raised  with.  Movies  and  television  are  almost
                        nothing  now  without  special  effects.  Many  movies  are  now  going  back  to  the  basics,
                        however,  thus  leading  to  a  more  diverse  form  of  media.
                               Which  leads  to  the  question,  how  much  further  can  technology,
                        music,  and  media  go  before  we  head  back  into  a  complete  circle?  Is  there
                        a  limit  to  what  we  can  and  cannot  do?  How  far  are  we  from  having  all
                        access?

             How do you feel I about the  current state of music,  media and technology.

                       I.  Heather  Corcoran:  "People  are  too  reliant  on  technology  today.  It's  getting  kind  of  ridiculous."
                       2.  Heather  Hartman:  "People  are  trying  too  hard  to  be  the  same  now.  Music  has  gotten  totally
                       conformist."  3.  Mark  RozencwaJg:  "I  think  that  people  should  write  their  own  music.  I find  it  funny
                       how anyone  can  get  a hit  now,  and  these  people  didn't  even  write  their  own  hit  songs.  Also,  I don't
                       care  about  advancements  in  technology."  4.  Dustin  Halcon:  "I  don't  like  that  question.  It's  a  stupid
                       question."  5.  Tiffany  Mourl:  "Music  has  certainly  diversified  over the  past  few years,  and  now  I actually
                       save   a  lotta   money  thanks  to  technology,  with   CD    burners   and   mp3s."
