Those who can't keep up are flailing - last month, HMV reported its annual profits have more than halved - or already fallen: last year, retail giant Tower Record sclosed its stores and in June the U.K. music chain Fopp shut up shop.

In the past five months, I have had the honor of meeting with students who spend their spare time preparing immigrants for citizenship, teaching in the Boston public schools, and working on homelessness policy.
