"RADIO HAS BECOME A MOBILE SERVICE THAN IT USED TO BE". DISCUSS:

"Mobile" a Post-modern word: anything and everybody seem to move nowadays. Human beings are costantly asked to do something, to go somewhere and, last but not least, to say something. Life is totally different from what it used to be only some decades ago. Just some years ago people generally lived and worked in the same ares and even if they were commuters, they were daily commuters. School didn't have mobile projects for students to go abroad.

Technologies have changed with society too. Now everything has to be small, practical, handy, cordless, ready to be moved to some place, as if we couldn't stay at home any more, do things quietly, but we always had to hurry, to move somewhere. An example of this change is the radio. It was created at the early 1900s and was the companion of families at home, during lunch and dinner, during hauswork and study... now on the contrary, we seldom listen to the radio at home, but  more often when we're moving somewhere, by car, bike, on foot. Radio set have fallen into disuse are nowadays inagrated into mobile sets like, mobile phones or MP3 players. In fact, when we're at home, we prefer watching TV to listening to the radio, because TV catches our full attention. Radio requires only your hearing and lets you do other activities at the same time. Watching TV instead, compels you to use your sight, hearing and morover you cannot move when you're watching TV. So TV has taken radio's place as a companion at home, while radio has gone outdoors, being with us, in the car or at work.
