Hearing is believing (kyle baker)

In the audio essay I agreed with multiple ideas that Prof Sloan touched on. When he said that words and sentences can't express the real meaning of the point that you're trying to get across. Say you text someone something it doesn't have nearly the same meaning as if you said it to the person. The tone in your voice has everything to do with the interpretation of what you're saying. We really do construct our worlds based off of what we hear. If something is written it can be interpreted in many different ways. Today in society sound overwhelms lyrics in pop culture today. Many kids listen to songs and have no idea what the lyrics actually are. Often times if you play a song to a little kid the first thing theyll pick up is the beat or they'll just hum to the song. The song by luke ray's that had no lyrics is a perfect example of how sound has actually been a major influence in not only todays society but even back then. I never really thought about how much the radio makes you imagine things, it makes advertising that much more effective because you make the picture you want to see based off of what they said.
