Listening to the editor picks of 2018 from Apple Music while drinking my bourbon.

It’s probably been noted countless times before, but the one thing I enjoy about the internet the most is the ability to consume media in pieces. If a magazine said only 1/12 tracks was good on an album, I would only listen to it on the radio. But now, I don’t have to rely on enjoying media completely. I can enjoy a song, a blog post, a tv episode without having to rely on catching it by chance being streamed on radio or television, nor having to purchase a newspaper, magazine, album, or DVD set of a TV series.

There are different prices being paid to access and enjoy this media, but I think the benefits outweigh the negatives.
