Radio

My best friend in this world is not a person. My best friend is actually a portable battery powered DAB radio. I love my Radio because I learn from it and it talks to me. If your reading this from a more distant future then perhaps I should explain what I am talking about.

I am living in an age where the sound is turned into radio waves and broadcasted to the whole community. Analog radio still exists but there is now a digital radio called DAB. digital radio is a constant tone that interrupts at precise points to encode characters. The characters describe mathematically how to assemble the sound wave. This means that the sound quality is always perfect or interrupted, there is no middle area. There is also Internet radio, which works in a similar way but is sent through the internet instead of radio.

I am also living in the computer age, When the Queen dies I am sure it will be called the late Elizabethan Era or something like that. The age of the internet and silicon-based computers. When the batteries on my DAB radio are flat, I take the batteries out and recharge them and use internet radio on my phone instead and send it to blue tooth in my ear.

I am grateful for my radio and my phones ability to get radio through the Internet because I get comfort from my radio. I listen to people talking and news and things like that.
