Radio dominated the first half of the 20th century but the advent of affordable TV sets in the 1950s seemed to spell doom for the format. Yet, radio endured. Radio was able to create a distinct image for itself, separate from TV. I have own theories as to why (cars, transistor radios and the music industry) but nothing conclusive.
Indeed. Why would I replace my reading time with inferior substitutes?
Don’t get me wrong, audiobooks are great for listening while you drive, but personally? I still prefer reading printed words off the page.
(TV shows are fine, too, but they’re a different category of entertainment than reading books)
