Magnetic Recording

All of this flew over my head. The way technology develops is amazing and it takes a lot of different people to get to evolve and idea. Magnetic recording essentially is the application of sound being recording on a magnetic medium, thus the magnet affected certain portions of that medium is the recording. The article began with the initial technique of humans recording, which is writing, and showed us how the new technologies of recording reflect the same idea of recording knowledge and information and being able to share it with others.

This technology is used to store computer info as well as music and video, and has made a difference in the size of appliances, weight, and use. It has been able to  transform from analog to digital, and has flaws such as self-magnetization, or the signal just not translating well, however, I think it has been valuable and will continue to serve its purpose.
