I haven't written here in awhile, things this semester have changed, and I am no longer required to maintain a weekly blog
I visited several museums over the break, some (such as the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Annex) are/were clearly there for the entertainment value. The exhibited material was interesting and well interpreted, but hte greatest achievement of the place was its high-tech personal sound systems. Unlike most other acoustiguides that require input from the user or are timed, this was done fully through wireless "hotspots" the only issue was the hotspots were often soo close together that if you didn't activate the new hotspot, the music in ur headphones would be extremely out of touch with the new section of the exhibit. It did do a good job of its main point, showcasing the history and development of rock and roll from its origins in the early 1900's.
more to come (i promise this time)
