How do the ideas from Walter Benjamin apply to contemporary digital media?

How do the ideas from Walter Benjamin's "Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" apply to contemporary digital media?There was a time when "Art" was made by artists who were skilled professionals. Now that anyone with a computer can create things digitally (music, images, videos, etc), what does that mean for "art"? Is a photoshopped image "authentic"? Do digital "things" have an "aura" (in Benjamin's terms)?

Benjamin thought that the presence of the original is the prerequisite to the concept of authenticity for a work of art. Now let’ s think about digital technologies process reproduction that is more independent of the original than manual reproduction (in photography, process reproduction can bring out those aspects of the original that are unattainable to the naked eye). He also wrote that since the historical testimony rests on the authenticity, the former, is jeopardized by reproduction when substantive duration ceases to matter. And what is really jeopardized when the historical testimony is affected is the authority of the object For art that means the aura of the work of art withers in the age of mechanical reproduction. mechanical reproduction emancipates the work of art from its parasitical dependence on ritual. To an ever greater degree the work of art reproduced becomes the work of art designed for reproducibility. ; to ask for the “authentic” print makes no sense. But the instant the criterion of authenticity ceases to be applicable to artistic production, the total function of art is reversed. In my opinion the ideas from Walter Benjamin applies to contemporary digital media in many ways. Is it the same listening to music(mp3) that comes from your own laptop and listening to Jimi Hendrix performing a sole of guitar? No, because a live performance is unique and it gives you stronger emotions. I never saw Hendrix because I’ m too young, so I must be grateful to youtube that allows me to see him. But now this is my questions: I discoverd Hendrix because I saw a lot of concert and I loved guitar, but a teen ager how spend all his day in front of computer, listening to music from the computer and how never try to play any instrument, will he be able to appreciate a guitar solo? Will he be able to play a guitar solo? I think it’s wonderful that everyone can create music from his computer, but if in future music will be without instruments I think there will be the end of aura for music
