Literacy is a medium means of defecting or conveying a message as a means of communication. “The medium of today is to show off” means how social media is used to “showoff’ all of todays world.

An idealist believes that somewhere there is an ideal for everything a model of perfection. They have religious beliefs and god’s music is ideal music. People are not ideal but are flawed copies of the ideal.

For idealist, the sunset is moving and is beautiful but the realist sees the sunset is the end to a day and uses all science.

In 1883 is when the US officially had organized “time zones.” This is when people realized this had less to do where you were on earth but more on telegraphic signals. This changed time and space completely. Now electric light is created for work hours to correspond to available light but electric light made work hours the same no matter what season. The biggest technological advance made in the 20th century was considered the telephone. I agree that telephone was the most important created. I believe this because in 2018 no one can even live without a phone. The phone has progressed jobs, families, and everyday life to extremes no one would even imagine in the 20th century. We use telephones to do even the simplest tasks like turn on electric light. Without phones the amount of networking going on today would not be available and force to improve all aspects of life everywhere due to this advancement.

In class we learned about why music today is “worse” than music back then. The reason for this is because of dynamic compressions which is when the music stays the same volume no matter how soft or low the singer sings. When listening to examples I never noticed this until hearing how when Ariana grande can hit a high note or get really soft but still be the same volume through the whole song. When listening to music from my parents generation you can clearly hear the volume of the music go up and down. Apparently why this generation has dynamic compression is due to the fact we believe louder music is better music.
