Today, I was traveling in local transport and wondering about a passenger next to me. He was using and holding in his hand an old mobile phone. He was pretending to others who were enjoying watching videos on their android phones. At then I have noticed that he is listening to the radio on his old phone. I really shocked that there is a big community that still likes to listen to the radio. There I remembered that I was also fond of using the radio daily, in my car, at my home, etc. It was a golden period in Pakistan when people were having a radio to listen live commentary of Cricket & Hockey matches. Some are addicted to tune their radio for news bulletin. Women and girls were used to listen Pakistani film songs. Families have enjoyed many dramas presented by legendary artists. Even in 90's when drivers were used to the voices of dj (Disk-Jockey) who repeat their signature line which was "Assalam-o-Alaikum Pakistan". That was a big attraction for youngsters to call live and gossip with live presentator.
I don't know why people have changed their media of entertainment. But I still feel the importance of radio box (radio gadgets) and radio frequency, which has played a major role in past. HAM radio receivers are one of the best creation ever made. Where these radio users are a unique community, hobbyist and professionals. FM Broadcasting is also very famous and popular nowadays. Radio exist in our life with full responsibility and using updated technology. But I want to ask people why they are possessed by androids and phones, why they are quitting from other technologies. Please give a little time to all your gadgets and don't give up books reading, radio, etc which is going to be part of our heritage culture.
I agree with you
