Do people still buy music?

By Colin Davitt
The Google I/O 2013 conference kicked off today with an amazing 3 hour keynote.  This conference is focused on developers but they did talk about some things today that I find fascinating and it got me thinking about music.  I have not directly purchased music in years. (I DO NOT download any music from any type of torrent site.)   I still listen to a lot through various streaming services.  Right now I pay for Pandora and Spotify.

Today a new service was introduce by Google called Google Play Music All Access.   I did sign up for this one as well because there is a free trial.



This prompted me into thinking about how people consume music today.  Back in the day I had stacks and stacks of cassette tapes, CDs and even Mini Disks.  I always thought it was a hassle.  Now I am not sure I really own much music because it is much easier for me to use the cloud to store and manage the tracks.

I still wonder if people buy music anymore.  Why do you buy the physical copies?  Do you buy music?  Honest questions I am thinking about.

Setting Your Gmail Away Message

By
You will be away from your classroom for a bit and probably won't be checking email on a regular basis. Wouldn't it be nice to have Gmail respond for you alerting whoever is emailing that you out enjoying your summer? Setting up your vacation responder is pretty simple, a few clicks and a save. Start by clicking the gear icon in the upper right corner of Gmail. Scroll way down the page. Look for the vacation responder section. 1. Click to turn the responder on. 2. Add your first and last days away. We would recommend adding something short and to the point for the subject line. 3. Whatever you add here will be the body of the email you are automatically sending out. It would be a good idea to tell them when you are planning on returning and who to call if they need immediate assistance. We also recommend not checking the two buttons at the bottom. 4. Save changes . That is it. Now your inbox will automatically alert people that you are not in your...
