So, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how much technology is impacting different facets of our lives, particularly the arts and entertainment sectors. It’s mind-boggling really, how tech has permeated through anything and everything. Take music for example, I remember when physical albums were a thing, but now it’s all about Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal—you name it.

And it’s not just about distribution, it’s about creation too. Just saw this great documentary on Netflix (Yes, another tech giant!) about how music producers are using AI and machine-learning based tools to compose songs. It’s such a double-edged sword. On one hand, it’s fantastic that music production has become so accessible, but on the other hand, it kind of takes away from the traditional skills and creativity, doesn’t it?

Similar is the case with visual arts. I mean, people are buying and selling NFTs (Non Fungible Tokens) of digital art for millions. I’m still grappling with the concept myself. How do you guys feel about all this? Do these digital formats offer the same emotional resonance?

And let’s not forget the rise of streaming platforms and what it has done to cinema. The big screen experience, popcorns and all, seems to be fading out. I miss the thrill of waiting for the Friday night release. But being able to binge-watch entire show seasons in the comfort of my home is 🤔

Yeah, have to agree with you there. The tech invasion is nuts. It’s like everything’s going digital and all. I mean Spotify and all are great and super convenient, right? I got a whole library in my pocket. But yeah, kinda miss the thrill of new CD’s - the smell, the artwork… You don’t get that now.

AI in music is a bit scary if you ask me. Feels like we’re slowly giving machines more and more control. But also, could make music more accessible for people who might not have had the chance to create before. Double-edged sword, indeed.

As for cinema, I must say, I’m a lazy dude who loves the couch, so streaming is a win for me. But nothing can replicate that big screen magic, right? NFTs, still getting my head around that. It’s a wild world, man. But change is gonna happen whether we’re ready or not, I guess.

Totally get where you’re coming from, dude. The thrill of unwrapping a new CD, nothing beats that. But gotta say, having everything on my phone… It’s clutch. As for AI, it’s kinda unnerving, right? Like, how far are we gonna let machines into the creative process? But then you’ve got folks who might not have ever gotten their shot, now they can make music too. It’s a mixed bag, for sure.

Movie-wise, yeah, streaming is the bee’s knees. But the cinema experience, the popcorn smell, the chatter before the trailers, that’s unique. As for NFTs, man, all I can say is, it’s the wild west out there. Change is coming, whether we’re on board or not, right? Crazy times this 2022, huh?
