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.

Yep, my Dad's 93 and used to listen to Buck Rogers on an AM console radio that was powered by a car battery. Even I can remember starting with vacuum tube radios -- and tying to track down and replace the burned out ones.
Now Dad has an Echo and reads on a Kindle. Talk about Buck Rogers.
