The second part examines the historical accumulation of techniques and sounds in sound media, and presents multitrack music in the 1960s, the golden age of radio in the 1950s and back to the 1930s, microphone recording of music in the 1930s, the experimental phase of wireless radio in the 1910s and 1900s, and the invention of the gramophone and phonograph in the late nineteenth century.Sound Media includes a soundtrack on downloadable resources with thirty-six examples from broadcasting and music recording in Europe and the USA, from Edith Piaf to Sarah Cox, and is richly illustrated with figures, timelines and technical drawings.

Hvordan forholder du deg til teknologi? Hvordan kan vi forstå den teknologiske utviklingen? Og hvordan skapes og brukes nye teknologier i samfunnet vårt? Vi mennesker er omgitt av teknologi, og samfunnet vårt er sterkt preget av nye teknologier. Boken vil gjøre det lettere å navigere i dette forvirrende landskapet. I boken blir leseren presentert for teknologiteorier fra en rekke kjente og mindre kjente teoretikere som har forsøkt å beskrive og forklare ulike sider av forholdet mellom mennesket og teknologi. Teoriene er fordelt i tre overordnede deler: 1. Teorier om hvordan vi kan forstå den teknologiske utviklingen og dens påvirkning på mennesker, samfunn og omgivelser. 2. Teorier om hvordan teknologier lages, og de tekniske ferdighetene som anvendes for å skape dem. 3. Teorier om hvordan vi kan forstå avanserte teknologier og de egenskapene de har. Boken er en rikholdig verktøykasse av teorier og perspektiver og er skrevet for den som ønsker å få en bedre forståelse av teknologier og vårt forhold til dem.
