The Future of Music
David Bowie Predicted The Future Of Music In 2002
By Fast Company Mag.
”Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity,” Bowie said nearly 14 years ago. And here we are today.
In a 2002 interview with the New York Times, Bowie foresaw the reshaping of the music industry that was only then beginning. He predicted that record labels would become less relevant (ding ding!) and that copyright would disappear (not quite) within 10 years, before making his most prescient observation of all: ”Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity.”
In 2016, the idea of paying $10 per month for access to millions of songs seems normal. But back then, the idea sounded like a sci-fi fantasy. Today we have solutions like apple Music, Spotify and Hungama as homegrown solutions to legitimately stream and download music. And here we are.
