Radio

Jan., 6, 2026

I, as a zoomer never really used normal FM/AM radio. At an early age most of my music was either streamed or XM Satellite Radio. But recently I have found a wonderful classical radio station within where I live. So I tuned my old 70s alarm-clock to the station, and I busted out my old battery powered portable radio. And upon listening to it for a few hours, I began to think, how amazing radio really is!
That this simple peace of tech, is beaming music over air, over state lines, and I get HD quality music, for free, without needing an Internet connection. I know this may seem pretty stupid to somebody who grew up using radio, but it still fascinates me to no end.
Something this cool would never be adopted today, or there would be a costLike XM-Radio.. But that it is free, and requires no account, Internet connection, or anything besides a working radio, to get tens of free music stations, is really something quite neat.
