1. Music: now and
then

December 2012

2. Introduction
• Opinions about what good music and
cinematography is have changed with time.
• In general people nowadays don’t really listen to
music our parents listened to nor watch movies our
parents loved to watch.
• Although we, young generation, often re-watch
good old films we used to watch with our parents
long time ago. Also, some songs we listen to
sometimes catch our parents’ attention.

3. Reasons of these changes:
1. Active development of audio and video
equipment, new technologies and inventions.
2. Dissemination of cultural features from society to
society.
3. People's desire to develop life aspects by
changing adopted standards in music and film
industry.
