Radio lecture

Now I will start by saying, in my previous review of a lecture, I discussed about how I thought a little bit of the information just wasn't sticking with some of other students. But on this lecture, it was the complete opposite. Of all of the lectures this seemed the most interesting to our class, because we'll to be brief, it is quite interesting and not many people really know the history of radio. Which we can blame a lot on the fact that we've sort of forgotten about it as far as a society. I mean sure we still use it from time to time but only in the car while driving or...no yeah pretty much only in the car while driving. It was most fascinating to learn that a lot of the stereotypes about radio that were shown in movies set in the 50s and most periods were radios were true for the most part. With entire families gathering around them to listen to either music, a game, a news event, a show or so many other things, just like how we are now a days with the television. It's just very satisfying to learn that the media was being more realistic than anticipated. And aside from that a lot of the information was just very intriguing, and even comical at some points. Such as when they couldn't travel to an event that was too far away they would piggyback on someone's coverage that was there and just make sound effects in the booth. Or when during some of the war of the worlds broadcasts some of the people actually believed that we were being invaded by aliens. Something about that is just hilarious to me, it sounds like the plot of a three stooges or a Marx brothers episode. Overall I thought out of the entire six weeks this was the lecture I, and the majority of the class, enjoyed the most.
