All right Literacy seeking shmoop er's here we go Second

00:07

twelve on the music industry and we're going to focus

00:10

on technology forever changing it kind of for the worst

00:14

Probably But here we go Here's goes difficult to imagine

00:18

and people living down the street from the internet infective

00:20

Two years ago the internet itself was unimaginable except perhaps

00:23

to an elite few who knew that such a thing

00:25

is possible Remember we've changed that in the last question

00:28

but the internet came to be born and it has

00:32

since revolutionized the music industry For better or for worse

00:35

i came to be born That just sounds weird people

00:38

That sounds strange like it's a barbara strikes and movie

00:43

All right Well as written the underlines portion is gordy

00:47

and awkward kind of like we are here Totally awesome

00:51

for movie sidekicks to be weird and wordy You know

in the eighties not so much for the aspire english

00:56

assessment that wants you to talk all fancy That's the

01:00

point of the sentences to say that the internet did

01:02

in fact come into existence and it revolutionized the music

01:05

industry The phrase came to fruition means came into existence

01:12

which is a wonderful coincidence and also happens to be

01:15

the correct answer To say that the internet came makes

01:19

it sound kind of dirty like it arrived after a

01:22

long trip out of town Maybe yeah maybe that's better

01:24

And since the sentence later says revolutionized while the verb

01:29

we're looking for is in the past and not past

01:32

continuous as in was coming So get rudy is well

01:36

there for the right answer here yet it came to

01:38

fruition and has since revolutionize Yeah gotta people stealing music

01:44

Yeah that's what happens
