1st Post

Without any doubt in my mind I do feel as if I have no choice but to be a "digital native." Just like one is immersed in a culture I have been surrounded by digital media my entire life. From the earliest web pages to today, I have interacted with the web in ways that have grown and matured exponentially. To explain, I first saw the web as a place to play simple computer games as well as a place to interact with other internet users on a very basic level. It goes without saying that the web has morphed into something much greater than this and now offers intricate means of communication, advertising, promotion, and personal visibility to its users.
As a musician, the internet has given me countless ways of promoting my music (myspace music/facebook music/soundclick/ourstage) and moreover it has allowed me to explore thousands upon thousands of underground musicians that are not in the mainstream. Purely for these reasons the internet is invaluable to me.
