Vinyl Records Survive Technological Revolution

            As technology advances, and music has become readily available by the click of a mouse, the old-fashioned vinyl records have still survived, and have somehow become a rising trend.
            Surprisingly the majority of vinyl customers are not those of older generations anymore, but young adults and teenagers, who never had the experience of vinyl growing up.
            At the Newtown Book and Record exchange, a store on State St. that allows the trading, selling, and purchasing of vinyl records, the sales associate embarked on the rising trend of young adults' interest in vinyl.
            “It’s ironic, older people are coming in to sell their old LPs, while younger people are coming in to buy them the next day,” she explained.
