Most of you guys are pretty serious geeks. I embrace it. It's a good thing.
And as geeks, we like music. Not just any music. GOOD music.
What does that mean to you?
When I think of multiboxers listening to music, I think of that scene in a ST:TNG episode where Data was listening to perhaps 5 different, completely disparate music types at the same time. To Riker, it sounded like complete mess but of course to Data, he was analyzing each as separate songs but listening to each one of them at the same time and appreciating each one.
Now, I doubt anybody listens to 5 different types of music at the same time but are there any common musical trends that boxers tend to exhibit?
Certain types that people like more than others? What kind of music do YOU listen to when you box and do you turn off the in game music too? Turn it all off to concentrate better?
Apparently this scene resonated with others too:
"In "How William Shatner Changed The World", they connected a single scene in TNG with the creation of the iPod. How seeing Data listent to multiple songs at once in his quarters and being able to instantaneously turn them on or off on command inspired the engineer who developed QuickTime to... well, develop QuickTime. Since it was nigh impossible at the time to store an entire album's worth of songs a computer, let alone access them with a command. From there came the popularization and development of media compression and formats and useable digital media... all the way up to the iPod and beyond."
"The idea of the iPod was
taken from Star Trek: The Next
Generation. Steve Perlman, a
scientist at Apple, was inspired
to launch QuickTime after
seeing the android Data
accessing music
instantaneously. Steve Perlman
says that the launch of the MP3
and iPods are thanks to Star
Trek. At the time of these
episodes this technology was
completely impossible."
