Old Technology Lessons
by Andrew McCaskey
The death of radio has been forecast at least four times during the past ninety years – and each time it has been able to reinvent itself as a news and entertainment medium. Even in spite of it’s current state of decay in a Clear-Channel dominated world, the Public Radio segment is alive and well and as the demographic of the Baby Boomers tracks into retirement, radio is well positioned ( along with Podcasting – a form of time shifted / location shifted radio) to fill news and entertainment needs well into the future.
The New York TImes reported the same phenomenon in movies and mainframes.
It’s sort of encouraging – the fact that after a brief period of orientation and adjustment, the old tech can evolve to meet consumer needs. Not necessarily will evolve, but can. And the fact that it is possible is what means the most.
