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
cost. 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.
