My parents were born in 1925/1926. So they remember when having a radio (which went off at sunset, by the way) was special. It just amazes me how far technology has come in their lifetime. I can't imagine how far it will go in mine.

I'd love to see where we are in a hundred years, but alas, tubemonkey will unravel way before then
I've always loved radios - from "pocket" transistor radios to clock radios to tuners in stereo systems to internet radios to radios in smartphones to the Amazon Echo. Amazing how far we've advanced.
Now my radio of choice is the Echo Dot with the TuneIn Radio app that'll play thousands of radio stations around the world by voice command.
