1. Does audio technology extend communication or redefine and transform it? If the latter, how and why does this happen?
2. If audio in the 20th century was about reproduction (i.e. recording, amplification, broadcast), will the 21st century be about virtuality (i.e. artificial, surrogate constructs)? If so, what were the tendencies in the 20th century that marked this trend?
3. Was the main function of audio in the 20th century the production of the consumer?
4. Does audio technology determine change at the social and personal level? If not, what kind of changes does it afford and who or what is responsible for them?
5. Is audio technology a "zero sum" game where its advantages and gains are offset by disadvantages and losses? If not, what constitutes a net benefit and how does it occur?
6. Are personal, creative or alternative uses of audio technology constrained by the political economy of the audio industry? If your answer is "not entirely", what does constrain them? What degrees of freedom does the listener have?
7. Has "digital audio" merely been created as a new market which commodifies the soundmaking experience, manipulates us as consumers and contributes to the pre-existing economic models and their inherent problems?
