Due to the new technologies and the internet, radio is going to disappear in a few years.
Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give your opinion.
In our fast developing world there are a lot of new technologies that are being used more often than the old-fashioned ones. The radio, that not so long ago was the main information and communication source has been replaced by television, cellular phones and the internet. It is claimed that the radio will disappear in the closest future. I strongly disagree with this statement.
All of the media types work on different perceptual channels of people. The radio mainly focuses on the auditory channel and lets the listener to turn his/her imagination. Furthermore, the radio can pass big pieces of information in short period of time. For example, the news broadcasts every hour talk about the main events in the local areas or the traffic situation on the roads. And everyone enjoys good music while riding the car.
Contrary to this, television and the internet that are widely spread these days use the visual channel more along with the auditory. The colorful images fast shifted and the flashy shows of the television can be very tiring and a person can’t watch those for a long time. Thus, not get all the possible information he/she could have. The internet, likewise, uses visual pictures to pass information but in order to get the precise amount of it a deeper exploring must be made and this can take a lot of time.
To sum up, there are still a lot of positive features to the radio. Although the possibility to get more information through television and the internet exists, the claim that the radio will fade away within a couple of years is not true. Frankly speaking, I think that the radio is very valuable to us and we can’t let it vanish from our world.
