iTunes: Good vs. Evil
The phenomena known as iTunes is, in my opinion, yet to be decided as a good or evil invention.
My little sister is getting married and I was in charge of dinner music and what not. In that respect it is great...take your pick of over 1,000,000 songs. Pick any one for only 99 cents. The upside is you do not have to buy the whole cd, just the song you want.
The down side is this: When one is racking their brain for great songs for a wedding, one is unable to think of the 28 years of music listening experience (or however old you happen to be) and think of all the thousands of songs you just love. You say to yourself, "It's is just 99 cents!" so you buy and buy and buy. Twelve minutes later you realize to spent over 25 dollars on music.
So I am not sure of the inherent quality of iTunes yet. But I see that Good vs. Evil transcends Star Wars and Lord of the Rings and meets you right in your own living room.
