Describe how technology has changed the fields of architecture and music in the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries

What will be an ideal response?

Many of the buildings we see today would be impossible to design without the aid of computers. Since the 1960s, architects have made use of advanced three-dimensional modeling tools and sophisticated animation software. Contemporary technology has generated a futuristic vocabulary of folded, splintered, tilted, and boldly curved shapes that contrast with the well-defined axes, sharp edges, and clearly bounded space of older building styles. Contemporary architects, such as Zaha Hadid, produce inventive designs that incorporate fluid forms in a dynamic "curvilinearity."
It would be impossible to overstate the impact that digital technology has had on global musical composition and performance. Analogue electronics have enabled amplified music, leading to the whole genre of rock and roll. Today, musical instruments can be manipulated by computers and, indeed, computers themselves have become "musical instruments." Digital technology has allowed musicians to produce music in their bedrooms and connect with fans from across the world, without need for any recording labels.
