This article is about foreign countries getting advanced technology such as Beats music.How it adapts to your musical taste or what you like.And the different features that app has,how you can customize it,and rearrange how you like.


  • How do you feel about this event?
I think it is good that foreign countries are getting advanced technology.Beats audio is starting to take over this U.S. economy with it’s latest headphones,pill,app.These people deserve to listen to their favorite types of music.And have a customization profile account.But i do not like the 9.99 a month fee.Beats already is a multi-million dollar incorporation.Why do they need 9.99 cents a month.
  • How does this event affect you?
The love listening to music when im in class or im at home.I think music helps me do a better job on my work or while i am working.Everyone loves a certain type of music,really doesn’t matter which type it is.It is still considered music.Beats app pertains to everyone in the entire world.



  • How does this event/article relate to what we’re reading/doing in your classes?
This event relates to class because we are a technology based school.So we are on the computers a lot and use apps off of our Google chrome account to help us achieve success.A lot of us can focus when we are listening to music.Which helps us in class and also at home.


  • What is the author’s point of view, and how does it impact the overall effect of the text? Use evidence from the selection to support your answer.
He doesn't think the Beats app is that good.He thinks the the other apps he has used previously have been better than the Beats app he had currently used.Playlists I tried out where decent, though not as uncannily accurate as the stations I’ve grown used to on Rdio – but then again I’ve had far more time building a musical profile of my tastes at Rdio.If the person who wrote this article doesn’t like the playlists.Then how many more people are not going to like the app.If people are not willing to pay the 9.99 for your app then that defeats the purpose of your app.

  1. I think that your blog is great. And said that why do beats more money. But you could add more. And capitalized the word I and spelling errors.

  2. I think that you should make your font a little bigger and put spaces after the periods. I like how you did not only talk about the event affecting you but you also talked about how it will affect other people. I think the it is very cool that they have a beats app. I don’t think that if people want pay the $9.99 for the app that it is a waste. Maybe people are waiting for the app to go down a couple of dollars. The last thing is to make sure that you capitalize your I’s. I really enjoyed reading your blog.

  3. This was really cool to read about the new advances in technology people are coming out with today. Music is the main part in some people’s life and influences them a lot. It's good that countries are taking that into perspective now and understanding what they like. While reading I did come across a few typing error. Another thing is at times it was hard to read from the size of the font. Possibly next time a larger font could help a lot. I really enjoyed reading this blog on the article you picked. Good job, it was great reading.
