Discussion

We use our ears to process auditory information created by then noise and
sounds that we listen and hear around us. Sound evokes us to respond and
react in ways our eyes cannot see.

sound for communication, educational, and entertainment purposes.

Ways of Storing Audio Media

There are numerous ways of storing audio media:

1. Cassette tape. It is based on a magnetic made of a long narrow strip of

plastic film. Items like cassette and VHS tapes provide home entertainment
especially during the 1980s because it is small and cheap.

2. Compact disc (CD). It is a circular object used record and playback audio
files, and store computer data. Like a cassette, a CD is small and portable.

3. Thumb drive. It has flash memory that can be connected to a computer

or a device with a USB port. USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. Most
computer peripherals like keyboards, printers, and network adapters are
designed with a USB interface to connect to personal computers.

4. Memory card. It is a cartridge used to store digital information for

portable devices like digital cameras, cellphones, and alike.

5. Hard drive. It is a magnetic storage device that contains moving parts

like a spinning plate and an enclosure. It has a storage capacity that can
hold up to a terabyte or more of data.

6. Online storage. It is an increasingly popular way to store data via the

internet or the cloud. It serves as a good back up and commonly used for file
sharing.

Evaluating Audio Information

1. Sound quality. This is vital factor in audio information because it can
affect the quality of the sound. The volume should be loud enough for the
listener to hear but not too loud that it would be regarded as noise and
damage the ears.

2. Voice quality. Proper diction, pronunciation, accent, inflection,

intonation could result to better understanding of the message between the
sender and the receiver.

3. Type of content. The kind of music should be appropriate with the

content. For example, if someone is reading a children’s book, then he
should have a soft quality of voice.

Advantages of Audio Information
