I applaud these efforts but how practical is that to the common man these days? I'm happy to carry a small device that serves me with a few tunes every so often as for what they evoke however aware I am that the digital stuff will never reach the real stuff. A bloke fooling around on a guitar beside me tingles my skin already in a way that digital music never will, but I guess one has to learn to appreciate each for what it is.
Also, the actual problem lies deeper within the technology parting people from each other. It's fantastic I can reach out to you guys like this because you are way beyond my physical reach but the whole rise of technology has done little more than caged people in front of TVs and computers bereaving them from the warmth of an actual person around. In fact, I hear more people speak about the unbearable sensation of being close to another person.
I hope that there will be a time when people actually know their neighbours again.
