At Electronics Expo, Hot Items Come On Four Wheels
In keeping with the technological advances of the 21st century I decided to read an article on the advances in cars concerning music. More and more these days music becomes essential in the car whether it be on long drives or 5 min down the road. I thought the latest music related developments were the satellite radios that you could tag a song and have it sent to your itunes. Remarkably there is something newer than this. In the above article from NPR, they discuss the developments made in Ford cars for music. On average, a person will buy a new car about every 4 or so years, but they buy a new phone every 2 years. So, Ford has introduced the use of the cell phone for music. How they do this is by connecting to the internet via the cell phone and use sites such as Pandora for their musical preferences while driving. To me this is amazing! Now internet is in your car, a seemingly unlikely place yet will turn out to be very useful. Where does the next development in technology take us?
