Radio versus Video
There seems no question but that the radio is on the way out. The radio was once the centre for news and entertainment. But now, we prefer to watch dramas and thrillers on TV instead of listening to it on the radio. Where will our imagination drift off to when we can see who is talking and what is happening? Here is an example. Suppose you are listening to a war. Instead of picturing what is going on in your mind, the scene is replaced with an image that may be disappointing. TVs may be really addictive and interesting, but even so, what can be done about the lost meaning of radio as a fun, exciting family experience where everyone gathers around and drinks coffee on couches while listening to the soothing voice of the narrator? Also, if radios disappear, so will our eyesight. Radios are harmless to our eyes, but staring at a TV screen for hours is very bad for your eyes. It will be a frustrating problem for our descendants.

Very astute comments. Are you thinking of FDR's Fireside Chats? Do you listen to the radio? Just curious.
ReplyDeleteYes, i like listening to BBC radio, because they have some really nice music. the radio in china is boring though, and it's annoying to have to open the computer every time i want to listen to the radio. I've never heard of FDR's Fireside chats though.
