RADIO SAVED!

     The radio lecture was by far one of my favorite lectures that we've done so far because of how interactive you (Mr. Miller) were and you seemed really excited to talk to us about this innovative product that changed the world! We learned about important dates and certain people who really sparked the idea of radio and made it happen. I loved that you talked about Nikola Tesla because I read his biography in the summer and I absolutely love the way he is as a person, he may not have been the smartest business man but his legend still lives on today and that's what's important. The thing that really surprised me but at the same time made sense was that R&R saved radio. There was this really stupid conflict between parents and teens about R&R and how it would make you mediocre and how bad of an influence it was...well it kind of got crushed after there was a rock song played in a movie theatre, after that R&R was the genre everyone listened to. Knowing that in 1940 there were 40 million people who had radios in their homes is a crazy number. It's sad to think that radio has demassified, but we have evolved in technology since then. With the creation of apps, we can have a song on the tip of your fingers. Either way this was a fun lecture, and I enjoyed listening to original recordings.
