Перевод:

В прошлом люди могли слушать музыку только тогда, когда музыканты играли для них. Но изобретение граммофона позволило людям проигрывать пластинки у себя дома. Это была машина, которая могла воспроизводить музыку. Затем появились кассеты, которые были меньше пластинок, а после них — компакт-диски, которые служили дольше. С появлением цифровых технологий людям больше не нужно было ходить за музыкой в магазин. Они могли скачивать её из интернета на свои компьютеры. Теперь, если у людей есть смартфон и наушники, они могут слушать собственную музыку где угодно.
