The reason for that is, I have some local talk radio stations I listen to, and it's not that easy to find the programs I'd like to hear at the times they're on as I'm traveling through different areas where the signals don't reach.</p>\n<p>Outside of my car, I don't listen to the radio that much. I don't usually blast music because I like to hear as well as see what's going on around me when I'm driving.</p>\n<p>The radio used to have a lot of more diverse and interesting programming, but now it's pretty much talk radio, sports and music, with some gardening, tech, financial and Christian worship mixed in. Every once in a while, there's a college football game I'd like to watch but can't get because it's not in the programming package we have, so I listen to it on the radio. Other than that, I'm trying to watch it on TV or streaming it.</p>\n<p>I still think that the radio serves a purpose, just like I believe broadcast TV, print media and other forms of communication serve a purpose. I hope radio, newspapers and the big three channels (ABC, NBC, and CBS) all live on in some form, just in case we need them for some reason. The more technologically advanced we get, it seems, the more we also seem to open ourselves up to security and privacy issues.</p>\n<p>And since we can't seem to lock those down, it's not outside the realm of possibilities that some kind of virus or other malicious attack will take down the internet, or at least prevent people from accessing it. So, it is my hope that the radio and other analog forms of communications will continue in case we ever end up relying upon them again.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"pk6fznejw","appParentAuthor":"ohmygoodness","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
