This article talks about the technology advancement in music and how it has affected some types, specifically dance music.  The article sheds some light on how complicated making music with technology can be.  Although I don’t think making music with technology will ever become the only way of making music, in the article, you can see some of the benefits of making music with technology.  Making music with technology is very mathematical.  This article  shows that there are a lot of steps to putting together a song.  In each step and each individual track there are many adjustments that you can make.  Making a song with technology can take just as much time as practicing a song to perform it.
This would be a good article to go into a GarageBand unit, a unit exploring other music making programs, or a unit exploring different genres and ways that music is made.
