Can Popular Music Ever Really Be Unplugged?

In this day and age, I feel it is impossible for music to expand and fulfil its full potential without the aid of electroic technology. Sure, both gospel music and folk can exist without electronics, but when you still consider like other genres they rely on CD's in order to reach large audiences and expand, then this seems useless. Without amplification you would not have concerts, CD's, computers that can play music. The music industry as we know it would fall to pieces and die. Artists rely on technology to make them, whether it is setting up a simple Myspace page or releasing an album for the masses to download. Either way, technology plays a major role in todays industry. Especially in the world we live in, when every one wants what they want when they want it. Dont get me wrong, popular music would still exist to some degree but it would be unrecognisable.
