The radio was the first form of technology that was able to bring the media home. In the 1930s and 1940s, families would sit around the radio and listen to President Roosevelt talk. These events were referred to as “Fireside Chats” because families would assemble to listen.
As the years went on, the television was invented and people were able to visualize what they were hearing on the radio for so long. The first TVs were in black and white. Just being able to watch the news or a show was a big deal at that time. When color TVs started to be made it was as if technology couldn’t get any better.
Today, the radio is normally only used while driving in a car. But, even sometimes people are not listening to it for the news, only music. Televisions are still an exciting electronic. With new HD and LCD televisions, why pay hundreds of dollars for a sporting event ticket, when you can watch the game at home and the picture is so clear that it’s like you’re actually at the game.
These technologies have evolved over the past 80 years and have brought us news and media every step of the way.
