Did video really kill the radio star?

In short, yes, video entertainment did make the home radio a thing of the past, but radio isn't dead its just been relocated. Thanks to the car the radio has been saved, we spend our alone time in the car and unless your driving Ford's model T you probably have a radio. We listen to music, news, sports even sex while we are in the car driving to wherever we want to go. This gave us that private space that we once had to just use your ears and brain to learn something we didn't know. While there are some stations that are probably bad for your brain, there are still stations like NPR that make sure the radio is still a respectable media outlet. Part of what made the radio pretty much just a car thing was the fact that people have so much technological stimulation outside of the car that we needed to keep our minds busy while driving. This stimulation is essential for people to have and I think a large reason there aren't more road rage related crimes.
Listening to the radio in the car can be a very spiritual experience, we are alone connecting with someone who is far away. It is good for people to understand that there is something very important about staying connected with the radio, we need to be able to know that we don't always need a monitor to be entertained. My fear with the younger generations who are growing up the the "Ipod era" is that they will not have this same connection and it will be forever lost. The radio is a large part of our cultural history but if we keep only using it for pop radio stations, we will loose what its true value is. The radio is a tool that can help our society in more ways than we can realize, it helps us stay informed gives us multiple points of view and relaxes our mind. Video didn't kill the radio, we are.
