Radio vs Television

Since long ago, us human beings have enjoyed listening to the Radio. Now the allure of TV has stolen our hearts, are we closing the door on out once loved friend? Radio helped us through the toughest of times, WWII for instance, and it used to be the thing that the family gathered round to hear the news or humorous radio programmes. Of course, I was born into the age where television was king, and I long to live in an era where we are not ruled by an electrical appliance! Being a human, obviously I watch TV, and quite enjoy watching my favourite shows once in a while. However, this does not mean it dominates my life. Actually, I prefer the radio. Whether it's 'The Christian O'Connell Solution' on BBC 5Live or 'Desert Island Discs' with Kirsty Young on BBC Radio4, radio is still a firm favourite with myself. If your listening to a more fictional programme, radio gives you a chance to imagine the setting, characters and other various things that TV steals you of. Also, comedy programmes are even more funny, as they can tell you a joke without ruining it for you with pictures, props, and other things. Apparently Television gives you square eyes. What does Radio give, Square ears? I'm not shunning Television completely, I like it too, I'm just saying that there are other alternatives out there, so use them! Because we will not let Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung and Sony rule the world.
