PAULA: I think we have too many issues on our list and some of them should be deleted. What do

you think?
MARÍA: Yes, I agree. I don’t think we should delete them completely, but they could be merged.
ERIC: OK. Maybe we can cross off “Can computers displace traditional instruments to make music?”

because we can talk about it while we are discussing “Are computers musical instruments?”
DAVID: Yes, let’s do that. I think “Does computer music have the same quality as music made with

traditional instruments?” Should include “Which has more merit: the skills required to make
computer music or the ones needed to play traditional instruments?” and “Are people less interested

PAULA: OK, so let’s cross those off the list, as well.
MARÍA: What about the last one: “Does computer music provoke the same feelings in people as music

made with traditional instruments?”
ERIC: I believe we should keep it. So, we have three main issues to discuss: if computers are considered

musical instruments, the skills in play while making music, and the effect it has on people.
DAVID: Great! I think we’re covered.
