With the growing availability of TV and Internet, radios will soon become obsolete. Do you agree or disagree?

The

radio

is an invention that came to popularity in the twentieth century. Its technology revolutionized the manner in which people communicated. It is felt that

although

widespread

use

of the traditional

radio

may diminish in the future, it is a device that will never disappear completely.

This

will be shown by looking at trends in the growing car

radio

market and modern changes in the form of media that radios broadcast.

Firstly

, as growing global affluence spurs demand for cars,

radio

use

will

also

grow.

For example

, the booming vehicle market in China is causing an equally significant boom in

radio

set

use

.

This

is not a trend isolated to China; vehicle buyers everywhere are purchasing cars equipped with

radio

sets.

Thus

,

this

example clearly debunks the idea that

radio

use

will be eradicated in the coming years.

In addition

to

this

, changes to the content found on

radio

shows are creating new audiences and renewing the purpose of traditional

radio

sets.

For instance

, most Canadian

radio

stations today are live call-in shows. These sorts of shows have developed stable audiences over the

last

ten years, as

this

sort of entertainment is difficult to replicate using a television or the Internet.

Thus

, as

this

form of

radio

use

will not shrink into the foreseeable future, it can be concluded that radios themselves will not become obsolete. As the above evidence makes clear, radios will continue to hold a steady share of the global media market. It is assumed that

this

will hold true in the years to come
