остальное не так интересно, как эта цитата:
Radio was once a hobby, did you know that? You made your own. You replaced tubes. You learned call signs. You twiddled knobs. For a while you bought radios that were locked to one station. Later on, you remembered stations via magic code numbers and turned a dial and did this thing called “tuning in.”
Heck, we still see that legacy today - I am sure kids wonder why, given that stations are attached to buttons and names now. What’s the frequency number for? Who needs to know about frequencies? Isn’t a frequency an awful lot like a memory register or picture tube or understanding about the little flap that acts as a gas trap in the plumbing under your sink?
You don’t give a crap about it. In fact, this whole “station” concept is starting to look silly. What’s a “format” for when you can generate one on the fly on Pandora?
