Can popular music ever be unplugged ?

I don’t think that popular music can ever be unplugged because there are too many elements of technology incorporated into music from its creation even though songs are written down they’re recorded in studios and recording started in 1898 because of Valdemar.
The release of a song is promoted through television, internet or radio adverts or interviews with the artists. And then these songs are Distributed either through CD’s which were first pressed in 1982 in Germany or download form, you could even catch their new single on such channels as MTV.
Even if we look at the reason why we have certain pieces of instrument, for example the microphone which was created in 1827 but used by Emile Berliner in 1876 to increase the voice on a telephone, we see that technology is linked to music from the start.

  1. This is a reasonably solid post and it is nice to see that you are on first name terms with Valdemar Poulsen :-)
