The tetrad of the CD recording device(s) based on Mcluhan's (n.d.) model:
Enhances:
Audio records of
services. Can be retained as part of an
archive and/or used to create podcasts available through the web. Able to be recorded inline from sound board
for enhanced quality and extraneous noise reduction.
Obsoletes:
Cassette recorders and
magnetic tape.
Retrieves/Rekindles:
As with
cassettes, prior audio recording mediums.
Grateful for no more cassette or eight track tapes with the same no
rewind concept in easier to use technology.
Reverses:
Direct to memory hard
drive or portable drive devices.
Technology exists and could be used virtually immediately for service
sound recordings. These could be
simultaneously stored and made available through cloud storage technology which
is readily available.
