Shanken (228-247)
The section by Bertolt Brecht about the radio being used for communication was an interesting thought because now a days radio is not what it used to be back then (228). Pandora I fell as evolved from the radio because even in cars Pandora is available for listeners. But Brecht brings up a good point if radio could be harnessed to communicate with others it would be very popular today. How I imagine this radio communication duo would be implemented into our lives could be that one could simply tune in to a radio station and talk with multiple friends who would also be tuning in to the same channel. This could also be another way for people to discuss about various topics and while turning the dial to search for friends to talk to he or she can also eavesdrop in others conversations and perhaps even jump in the discussion.

Johnny, we do this already! It's called "Citizens Band Radio (CB)". Am I that old? hahaha.
ReplyDeleteI never knew about CB, when you told me at first I was like "What"? Now I know, and it's not that your old Peter, your young, the beard just makes you look older, I was just too young to know about it (:
