I came across this video discussing the history of radio. One thing that really struck a chord within me was seeing the first ever commercially released radio in 1910. Further, seeing how exciting it was to tune in and listen to the radio at a time when it was so revolutionary made me realise how momentous the invention of radio is. Looking at it conceptually, I feel that it has such a historically significant place in not only music but live consumption of media.
Just like cinema, radio is classic and I believe will always be around. It’s prestigious. I feel that as time has passed and music streaming has evolved, radio has become somewhat overlooked, especially amongst the younger generation, but I feel like just as the boom in popularity of the classic vinyl record player, radio may one day become hugely popular again.
