Today Google and others are launching the next version of the Internet – IPv6 which will be a new, larger version of the Internet. No one can deny the impact of Google and its technology on society. In his essay posted on [Music Think Tank](http://www.musicthinktank.com/blog/how-google-and-search-engine-optimisation-changed-the-music.html?ref=hypebot.com), **Stephen Carmichael** talks about Google and SEO’s impact on the music industry. Google has an impact on how content is spread and the content that is consumed. In your opinion, how has Google changed the music industry?

“Arguably, the media of today has evoked a **new culture**, where the audience has become a creative and interactive community (especially on youtube).
