How it used to be done

We’ve talked a lot in class about the evolution of technology, and the technology we used to use along with all the technology we still use. Although vinyl record sales have, somewhat surprisingly, been surging lately, with so much music being digital many people just haven’t had the opportunity to experience one of the joys of listening to analog music. Mainly, flipping the record.
You see, in the old days we’d use vinyl records, and after the needle got to the end of side A, we’d have to stand up, flip the record to Side B, and start it all over from the beginning. Finding a specific song was worse because we had to examine the record to find where the grooves clearly indicated the silence between tracks.
