We can now record and play music in new ways thanks to changing technology. Twenty
years ago, we used to listen to music on CDs only. A few years later, more musicians went
online with their laptops and we could download music and use MP3 players to listen. Now,
almost everyone can use computers and search engines to look for their favourite songs.
So,how will technology change the music industry in the future?

In the future, we'll regularly watch live virtual reality concerts from home.We'll put on our
headset just before the concert starts and be ready to go. There might not be many virtual
reality concerts at the moment. But, these concerts are likely to become very popular.
Musicians are always looking for new ways to connect with listeners of their music. New
technology, known as a 'block chain', will allow musicians to share new songs directly with
fans. This 'll put an end to money loss through file sharing. Some artists are going to try out
this technology soon.
Finally,we won't only listen to music made by humans. A machine can also learn how to
write songs. Humans and machines will work together to make,hopefully,great music.
Of course, the great thing about the future is that none of us really knows what will happen.

technology, music's going to be exciting!

Exercise 9. Read the text carefully, then choose the correct answers.
THE VANISHING INVENTION
In 1998, a Valencian professor made an amazing claim. Professor Antonio
Cervilladiscovered how to use water as a substitute for petrol. The scientist said that
youcould drive from Billbao to Valencian on just half a litre of water. His invention usesa
molybdenum compound to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen. Unlikeother
methods, no electricity is required and the reaction happens at atmospherictemperature. This
impressive technology is based on the way plant enzymes breakdown water. The use of
molybdenum is the perfect choice because, although rare, itis cheap and found all around the
planet.
Since the claims were made, nothing more has been heard about this fabuloustechnology.
There is no explanation for the disappearance anywhere on the Internet,apart from a list of
similar inventions which have also vanished. An inventor fromthe Philippines called Daniel
Dingel developed a water-fuelled car but was arrestedand sentenced to 20 years in person. If
this technology were to become widelyavailable, it would prove disastrous for petrol station
owners and would also savethe planet from the impending environmental catastrophes being
caused bypollution.
