Everything Changes...Or Does It? Balancing Modern Demands With The Essentials
ProSoundWeb: Technology in professional audio (and technology in general) has changed so much and so quickly that it’s become difficult to get up to speed and stay up to date. The learning curve for some aspects of what we do is quite steep and appears to be accelerating.

Haha, a short and sweet article about how power and who has the real power behind a production (the people that build the weird things artist come up with) When I first started tech in high school I was able to get a little artist guidance from my teachers but I wasn't introduced to the more technical and engineering side of lighting until I started researching on my own. Luckily my dad is an engineer and so I had someone to ask about my fascination with the technology side of theater (my dad does know a lot about theater but he knows quite a bit about sound and power) Power is used by everyone, constantly! It's something that we seldomly think in-depth about (we are so used to knowing that if I plug this, into this, and this, into this, then my laptop won't die) and we forget how complex it is! I think that most people don't think very smartly about their energy consumption (I know that I don't always think about it but I do make sure that lights are turned off before I leave a room) I don't know if this goes along with the article but this is where my brain went
