Radio, another media technology, gave rise to television. But it hasn’t died and gone to the wayside on it’s own. Radio, too has been a part of the technology boom. Once standing nearly waist high and weighing more than most people should lift alone, the radio is now found in every new U.S. Automobile and also has been found to deliver digital, online content from over the air or satellite; and even gone from also playing 8 track tapes measuring 5x6x1 to compact disks as thin as a quarter and the diameter of a saucer.
Far from the days of the AM radio coming as an option, today’s car stereo offers quadraphonic sound (four speakers, different content) and even preset equalizer settings that ensure we have the optimum sound experience.
As with television, radio content delivery has changed. Not only do we have the standard AM/FM delivery, we now have added satellite content and CD/DVD music to the radios of yesterday. With over 300 stations available via satellite, you can choose any genre of music, or even strictly talk show radio.
Now, we even have the additional Video content in our cars. Though unlawful in most states for the driver, many cars now come equipped so that passengers can enjoy movies (or more likely cartoons) while riding.
The common portable music players can even be interfaced with many newer car radios and in-home stereos, meaning that we can get out of our car and enjoy the same music and videos we have in one location with us all the time.
