Old TIme Radio

The entertainment brought to the listeners of radio was something that people at that time had never experienced before. Not only was it something new but it was something that everyone could afford, no longer was entertainment just for the wealthy. Radio personalities were able to ignite the imagination and minds of their listeners by the power of story telling, acting and sound effects. I find the idea of radio fascinating, unlike television the audience is able to create the details of the story in their mind as opposed to being presented the entire story including what the characters and settings look like as in television. I feel that radios power to spark imagination is such a great thing. The modern day addiction to television has literally turned people into mindless zombies who are constantly taking in information without having to use any brain power or imagination to process it.
