Synthesizers no doubt... But rock, hip hop, classical, r & b, its all here to stay...has been for the last century and more than likely always will be

Very sparse.  Only suitable for an arty spaced out mood.\nWill never go mainstream, but maybe that's not what you want.  I wouldn't listen to it at home, but if I had an avant garde art gallery or maybe a minimalist restaurant I would play it to create an edgy mood.  Keep working on the production side as well - you need some real sharp sounds when there's so little going on.

Just about all of the current problems will be gone, one way or another, and there will be new ones to replace them.\n\nTechnology will be light years ahead.  The more things advance and the more knowledge we have the more we are capable of advancing more rapidly.  The changes in the world in the last 50 years will be nothing in comparison to the changes for the next 50 years.

Oh my god. I totally agree with you. I am 20 years old and the only thing I listen to is classic rock. I am a huge Styx fan and they came out in the 70's.  The first three preset stations on my car radio are all stations that play 70's and 80's.  I listen to very little out now.  The music out now is pretty much all about the bass and how loud you can make it and pretty much question and answer and rap are the most popular.  Sex is talked about a lot, and music from the seventies and eighties was just simpler and easy to listen to and you can do other things and just forget you have it on. Anyway, I totally agree with you that the music from the 70's and 80's is better than the music out now. I agree with everyone who said that it was because the music now is just so mindless that it has no meaning and twenty years from now, no one is gonna know what the hell it means, whereas the music from the sixties thru to the late nineties with the invasion of the boy bands and modern music is good.  But overall the music from the sixties to the early nineties is the best by far.

Reason 3.0.  I just got it.  It rocks my world.  I can do so much more than make electronic music...  I could do the soundtrack to a movie.  Good luck & have fun!

That depends.  In this scenario, is the future set in stone (aka fate) or do we have a role in what happens in the future?

Yes you will see that. You will also appreciate more as you grow and mature as well. You will love the music you grew up with. And you know why? Music is a source of time travel. A song can strike up a memory that you wouldn't have remembered without it. The songs you are listening to today during todays experiences you will remember 20, 30, 40 yrs from now. Songs remind me of everything from riding in the car with my parents, driving my own car at 16, and driving while my son was in the backseat singing along. You will hear "50 Cent" played by a 80 yr old guy just like you hear do-wap today. The thing is that if you really love music then you know it changes and you have to change with it.

What will happen in the future is anyone's guess. My guess is there will be a lot of panic, much like there was back in 1999.

Live.\nIf it was playback, we wouldn't have heard so many offkey songs.

That is a really good question, but there is such a huge number of possible good pieces of music that we should never run out.  Look at the classics - they will always be classics, there is no need to try to outdo them and there is a lot there for coming generations to discover without having to make new music (or if you're thinking of pop, look at rereleases and remixes - a good pop song will always be popular).  But musicians will go on making new music forever, there is simply too much possible for it to be exhausted.

considering all the activism on saving certain species of animals, conserving enrgy and such that has been going on, i think more people will be aware of all the things that we have on earth that need to be saved.  although, i don't think life will get much better.  there will be a lot more abused children and neglected children, since hardly anyone cares what their children do anymore now, and those kids are going to grow up and do the same thing, because they have never been taught better.  i am curious what will be big in music.  techno maybe? i think if it hadn't happened already by that time, a nuclear war will be coming around then, because of all you hear about terrorism and nuclear weapons and the dangers today.

Things will change and i think for good. Human beings will stop playing with nature.\n\nIn next 25 years the whole world come very close and there would not be any problems of race, cultures and terrorism as people will slowly realise that these things dont help a community to grow. \n\nScience will open new doors and we cant even think what all new things we'll see in next 25 years.

Dear Music Teacher....\n\nElectronic music can be people just pushing buttons, however, many electronic musicians are masters at instrumentation and writing.  First you have to be able to play a keyboard to make electronic music.  Which means you gotta know chords and some basic theory.  I invite you to my myspace page to listen to some different kinds of electronica.  I love electronica to no end.  It's my passion and my mistress.  Where would we be without technology and synthesizers.  They make the soundtracks for movies these days.  Aeon Flux, Blade....etc... Electronic music can show agression and a soft glow, just like any string or wind instrument.

In the future you will read the answers to this question.

don't listen to the negative people, matthew... it will be great... the music and the show itself is going to be soooo fucking awesome, we need to start discussing the jist of it and get all the details straight...and as long as we find a station that will take us we should be ok. and we can have 2nd jobs as well maybe?

All depending on the song.
