43-2720 History of Audio

This course offers a way to evaluate claims made by the history of technology, which is a new and exciting branch of historiography, not only because it reveals human and social struggles to create and to adapt, but also because it has practical effects on the business aspects of today’s audio and acoustics industries. Today’s profits and livelihoods depend on novelty and exclusivity, and the history of audio is in play every time something is offered as new and better.
