Explanation of the object
These types of devices became very common, especially in highly developed countries, just when they were launched. My grandfather was one of the first lucky ones of his generation to be able to afford the telegraph. From a very young age he and his siblings grew up in Esteiro, a small coastal town in Galicia, with almost no entertainment. It was much later, when they were independent adults, when these tools that would make our lives easier and more satisfying today, were released.
My grandfather is today a person very used to new technologies. In fact, he is able to handle social networks fluently, something that not all elders can boast of.
Focusing a little more on the content of the radio, as I have already said, it is a tool that in its time managed to satisfy those who bought it, since it was one of the very few reasons to be entertained.
Traditional games used to be those who committed this compliment, but little by little this changes and new technologies are the ones that are implemented in our society, reaching what we know today as the information secular.
My grandfather explains that he used this object a lot and that it should continue to be used. However, comparing this opinion with many other networks (yahoo, social poll networks, or google), we can see that not everyone shares it. Many prefer new technologies to new ways, and of course, it is completely normal because, after all, each generation gets used to what they got used to when they were little.
On the other hand, my mother and father, with little knowledge of this, believe that these objects should also continue to be used, because they are things that will be unrecoverable in the future.
Finally, I am going to tell you a little about what functions this device had. As you may already suspect, it was a device that could not be moved, that is, it was not portable - this was one of the main causes that led to its replacement. The main functions were the change of channels or tunes, with a manageable wheel, without remote control, the change of functions through another small wheel that allowed you to vary the fm to other functions, and raise and lower the volume. As you can see, it didn't have many features and it was heavy, but it was still enough for people because it was the only thing they had.
