New Innovations in Music Streaming

-



Team Spotify? Team Apple Music? While they both do essentially the same thing, there is a nice little rivalry between them. If you are to ask just about anyone under the age of 40 they probably have a preference. Now it wasn't always this way, back in the day aka a solid 6 years ago most people used a magical little app called ~pandora~. Pandora was essentially an app that created a playlist or as they called it a radio based on a song or artist you liked and thats what you listened to. However, this app gave users little control over the music that was being played. You never knew what it was going to play and when you wanted a specific song you had to play a "radio" based off that song and hope and pray that the song you wanted to listen to would play. If you were an apple user, you had iTunes but you had to purchase every. single. song. that you wanted to hear. Because of these problems Spotify was born and much later came apple music in 2015.

Spotify has been around since 2008 but did not gain popularity until later on around 2014. Spotify has 2 versions a free one that makes playlists based on the music you like similar to pandora but you can also create your own playlists so you know exactly what is being played however you do not get to play any song when ever you want and you have to have some sort of internet access with of course ads. Premium, does all the above but you can play any song at anytime and save songs to allow access for offline use and the best part... NO ADS! 

While Spotify is my personal favorite, a lot of people like apple music and on there you have to make your own playlists and you can save whatever songs you want, but you do have to pay for apple music in order to have access there isn't a free version.  Overall, neither one of these apps would have the success they have now if it wasn't for the faults of pandora. And if you take anything, anything at all from the blog it is that Spotify is indeed BETTER than apple music.

Life on the Internet

I think because people my age grew up with the internet, we never really worried about whether or not we should keep much of our lives hidden. Growing up, i wasn't allowed to have any social media until i was around a teen which is understandable. However, for the famous celebrity type, they aren't too shy about sharing they lives of their children and even make instagrams for them the moment they are born. This might be because of the fact that their whole lives are already out for the whole world to see. However, I think parents like my own kept me offline for what i imagine to be safety reason. However now that i'm older and make my own decisions about what i post on the wide web about myself I try to keep it pretty vague and just kinda stereotypical for someone my age. Also ive come to the time in my life where things need to be kept nice and clean since employers look at that kind of stuff. So while I am probably easily found on the internet but i also try to keep thi

Supreme Court Process

The Supreme Court aka the S.C.O.T.U.S. is an integral of the law system in the U.S.  The supreme court requires multiple steps to in order to get anything actually seen by the judges. Having a case seen in the supreme court isn't as easy as getting a case seen in lower courts and the possibility of the case making it that high are also slim. the case has to go through all of the lower courts and you have to have had appealed as many times possible before being able to write a writ of certiorari, however that does not guarantee that your case will be seen. It only means that it will go to the attorney general who will decide if it is worth going through another process in order to actually be heard. I came across the video while watching the video that was recommended, I really enjoyed how this video made complicated information into something that was easy to comprehend.

EOTO Round 2

I was actually really excited to see that my group had gotten the overall topic of policy and I instantly called dibs on net neutrality. I called dibs on it because it was one of the topics that got me interested in politics. I remember being a senior in high school who didn't care about politics, and then I took AP gov&politics and woooo was my mind blown at how interesting politics actually where. Around that same time the whole ordeal about net neutrality was happening. In case you're wondering what went down, let me enlighten you. Net neutrality is basically the "rule" that internet service provides have to treat all sites the same and cant change how fast or slow you access a site. We had net neutrality during the Obama era and all was grand. When Trump showed up he changed staffing around in that department and bye bye went net neutrality. Now the only stipulation service providers have is that they have to inform the user of the change in speed to cer
