Radios

Most people do not use radios as a hot medium anymore, which means a media that requires all of your attention, they use it as a cool medium, which is a media that is playing while your attention is focused on something else. It is not often that you see a family gathered around a radio, listening to a talk-show or baseball game. They use televisions for that. During this radio lecture that Mr. Miller gave, I could not believe that Tesla invented broadcasting devices over 100 years ago and that one was in almost every single car in the world. The radio has many more uses than just entertainment, it was used, and still is, for war purposes. The radio in 1895 compared to the radio in 2015 did not receive many channels and when it did, it was in a specific area because there were not many. Now, you can find at least one radio station almost everywhere in the United States. Just because the radio is a cool medium, does not mean it has been forgotten.
