“Many readers will know what we’re talking about on the cover of this special focus edition of Karaoke USA. On the other hand, because of our unique circulation — which targets both pros and enthusiasts — many readers will become aware for the first time of some of the challenges currently facing our favorite interactive entertainment industry. Regardless of which category one may fall into, an important point not to be overlooked is that the very nature of entertainment as a whole is undergoing a dramatic change in the digital age.
Whether we talk about virtual reality, an information superhighway or interactive performance media such as Karaoke, the simple fact is that people are fascinated with new technologies which allow for the actualization of creative fantasies. And don’t let the word “fantasy” fool you, because the key word here is ‘actualization.’
From communication to education to entertainment and beyond, we are entering the age of creative empowerment… and the people are ready, even hungry for it.”
–Dale Lafayette
