This is Build for Tomorrow, a podcast about the smartest solutions to our most misunderstood

problems. I'm Jason Pfeiffer, and in each episode, I take

something that seems concerning or confusing today and figure out where it came from, what

important things we're missing, and how we can create more opportunity tomorrow. Right now,

you are listening to music. It was recorded at some earlier time by people you've never met, but of course,

you never paused to appreciate that because it's so commonplace. And yet, consider, just for a

moment, how absolutely mind-blowing this all would have been if you were alive at the beginning

of recorded music. The phonograph was introduced in the late

1800s, and it was the first version of what we now call a record player. This changed something

fundamental about the human experience. Consider it for all of human history, up until the late

1800s, for all of human history!

The only way that someone could hear music being performed is if another human being was standing in front of them playing an instrument.

That was it.

And then, out of nowhere, the human experience changed.

A machine could capture sound and play it back whenever you wanted. And it would sound

like this.
