The parallels in the evolution of the Phonographic Industry and Information Science supports

Abstract

It performs a comparative analysis about the relationships between the supports used by the Phonographic Industry and Information Science. Thus, it draws a parallel between the transformations in the Phonographic Industry since its emergence until the end of the 20th century with the transformations in studies of information theory. With regard to the methodology adopted, a bibliographical research was carried out, in which we sought to raise, from studies carried out on the information record supports, as well as on the history of the Phonographic Industry and the constitution of Information Science, connections that would make it possible to achieve the objective of the investigation. As a result, it points out that both have common discussions in relation to their central object and the transformations arising from the technological revolutions that occurred during the studied century and that the use of supports in the Phonographic Industry and Information Science developed in the evolution of storage capacity, increase in the quality and ease of use of these supports during the 20th century, enabling common discussions regarding what can be considered a record and the impact of the transformations resulting from technological revolutions.
