Music - An Elixir of Life in the Modern Era!

The discovery of prehistoric musical instruments takes us back to many thousands of years ago, which suggests that music has been playing a major role in the life of a human being for quite a long time now! Even some of the tribal groups who are totally isolated away from this world have their own musical instrument and some of music to play and sing.

There is no doubting the fact that people nowadays consider an essential part of their life. The positive impact that music creates in a person is very evident. Music can make a person feel energetic and enthusiastic. At the end of a long day's work, it can be seen that people prefer to listen to music of their own taste which makes them feel relaxed and rejuvenated.

Invention of the portable audio players such as the Walkman in late 1970s was welcome with sheer amazement and enthusiasm by people all over the world. There is a universal rule that 'There is always room for improvement'. This rule is applicable to all walks of a human being's life and his inventions are no exception to this. With the invention of the Compact Discs (CD) came the CD Walkman which made the music players sleek and compact to handle. The improvement has become so drastic since then that we have a wireless music player which is as compact as the size of a match box along with the earphone which is hard to notice being plugged into one's ears!!
