[...] 1. Cloudcomputing Stel je voor dat je geen muziek meer op je harde schijf hebt, maar op het internet. In de cloud verzamel je jouw muziek. Maar je kunt bijvoorbeeld ook anderen toestaan om muziek aan jouw cloud toe te voegen. Clouds overlappen elkaar en uiteindelijk zou er één cloud van alle muziek kunnen ontstaan die het fysiek bezitten van muziek (zelfs op je harde schijf) overbodig maakt. Boeiende ontwikkeling die veel rechtenorganisaties angst inboezemd. Op wikipedia, en op Newmusicstrategies. [...]

I love this incisive post!. I remember being at primary school in the 70′s and being told that computers will set us free in the future and hearing actual debates about ‘ how will people spend all their new found leisure time?’, did it happen?, did it fairycakes!.
all the best

I think it was a comment intended for provocation. As you said, no one really knows the future and no one could have accurately predicted the shift in technology over the last 50 – 60 years. Strategies instead of fortune-telling indeed.

to a certain extent, ‘the cloud’ is already there, and everything in it comes from ‘teh bluz’.
as far as owning music is concerned, i think we should be more vigilant about the ways in which IT OWNS US! when the goverments of ‘Teh FewTour’ sell us air, it will be OverCompressed as well!!!
listen?
We are NOt A LOUD!!!

Agree with your post, but in terms of another step towards “cloud computing” check out LaLa. Cloud computing for music is already here. LaLa has a few kinks, but for the certain person who works in an office all day and still wants access to their music, it’s perfect. Their iPhone app is processing, we’ll see if Apple approves it or not.

Your use of technological determinism is pretty one sided there Dubber… ;-)

Certain technologies are invented (or combined) and it does change culture. With out explanation, some examples are GPS and slow motion cameras.

In fact, one of the first quotes in most ‘technology culture’ university books is Henry Ford stating, “If I built what people wanted, I would have built a faster horse”.

Predicting how the majority of a population is going to consume a certain product is how millionaires are born.

It not technology culture’s fault that most people are not very good at reading what society needs…
