Another analogy is to compare DJing to photography.

Imagine you're throwing an event and booking a photographer and DJ.

Do you want the photographer to show up with a flashbulb camera, take only like 20 blurry black and white/sepia shots, then take a month to develop the photos in a dark room?

No, you want them to show up with a D-SLR, take like 2000 shots, then edit them in photoshop and send them to you in less than 48 hours.

A photographer embracing technological advances only serves to produce a better quality product.

Asking a DJ to show up and play only vinyl and not use a sync button is the same as asking a photographer to show up and take flashbulb photos.

If I'm throwing an event, I don't care if the DJ uses sync, I just want the people who come to the event to have a good time and get their money's worth.
