After reading Luke's response to the lecture on radios, I decided that I partially agreed with him, but partially don't. Luke wrote about how radios have become less popular because of the fact that they don't provide anything that other forms of mass communication do. I disagree. Not only do radio shows play music, but they also have skits and little shows that they air episodes of. This connects to me because every Friday morning my sister and I listen to "War of the Roses" on 98.9. It is a comedic show about couples and their relationships. This is one example of something that can be found within radio, but not anywhere else.
I do agree with Luke in that radio has become a lot less popular, but I don't think that it's not used by anyone. People listen to the radio to hear new music, they listen to it in the car, and they listen to it in their houses. You may think that Spotify and Pandora will eventually replace radio, but I disagree because those are more hands-on and you can't use them as easily while driving. Also, they come with a price of advertisements, cellular data usage, or a monthly fee.
