twelve on the music industry and we're going to focus

00:10

on technology forever changing it kind of for the worst

00:14

Probably But here we go Here's goes difficult to imagine

00:18

and people living down the street from the internet infective

00:20

Two years ago the internet itself was unimaginable except perhaps

00:23

to an elite few who knew that such a thing

00:25

is possible Remember we've changed that in the last question
