Music in the 21st Century

So, a few days ago I was in a heated conversation with my friend over the revolutionary abilities of technology and the creative arts. I was advocating that the ability to use new music producing software, like Garageband or Music Studio, opened new avenues for people that didn't have the time to learn the various instruments that are required to produce intricate songs. Then, low and behold, I check my RSS feeds and saw a new post by David Warlick entitled "Tech for Creativity". He wrote about using Music Studio, during his long airtime, to write a song for his wife. I listened to his song and was amazed that, while flying 27,000 miles above the ground, he produced "Brenda's Song" which included piano, flute, choir, and strings. This is what I was talking about! The ability for creative people to express themselves without having to learn five instruments, record each piece, then weave them all together! This is what I love about the 21st century.
