"Time flies when you're having fun. You wake up another year is gone"
This is what the rock band called The Click Five quoted to their song Happy Birthday and you know how true is that. It is like yesterday when you were singing with britney spears' hits then suddenly everything eased out and you'll see another you standing in front of you solving mathematical problems and trying his/her best to pass the final exam. I'm pointing out to the word "time" and "change".
As human,we are like chameleons but instead of changing colors,we are manipulated by the things around us.The same with technology. What comes to your mind first? of course, gadgets, computers, electronic machines, everything that was made by human. As time goes by, technology grows and people are continuously being dependent on it. If you are just a user probably you have no idea but if you love reading PC world or watching reviews from youtube or just passing by to look on "What's New" just like me, you'll find out how the technology ripped out the boundaries between realistic and imaginary.
According to what I posted in Facebook just a while ago. 2000 is a decade of CD/VCD/DVD player,desktop, laptop/notebook, 8 GB mmc, 3G technology, and scientific calculators.While on the other side, 2010 is the beginning of an Imaginary world,yet, unexpectedly became realistic. It was the year when Ipad, 1000 GB time capsule, Retina Dis.,HD and 3D screen, L.E.D Lights, Androids were distributed. And finally, the holographic performer, also known as Vocaloid, that features computerized singer and pre-programed concert.
What the hell is vocaloid?
Well, according to omg-facts.com. it is the latest product of Yamaha and it is called "Vocaloid Synthesizing Technology" where a character named Hatsune Miku (TN: Naturally, she has blue hair! you gotta have one too! she's always present to every cosplay events) gave into life by a computerized singer. There is a real human behind the recording but the unusual thing they edit the voice to become unique (a pitch that cannot be reached by the normal human voice) and instruments that only created by the computer.In short, no real instruments are involved during the recording. Well, if you are familiar with Japanese musical gadgets you probably know the touch pad with different effects and drum beats when you tap and scratch it. You can also customize the sound itself and record at the same time.
Are those holographic performers could really replace the artists that we have now? No, if we keep on supporting "real" artists, it depends on us what we prefer the most. That is just an example of the latest technology that popping out nowadays. It is ok for us to use those new technologies but not to exaggerate it because we may not know, they would be the next in throne someday.
