I've always thought why people still use AM FM radio, it is 21st century now, and we need to move on. I think that AM FM radio is outdated, so being so stubborn, I decided to do a research about the advantages of AM FM radio over other types of music system. So, here is what I got:
Nowadays AM FM radios are mostly used in cars for several reasons:
- As intertainment, because when people are driving for a short period of time, they don't really want to go through this process of choosing songs or inserting CDs.
- Some people like to listen to radio while driving in the car. Most of the people are hurrying to get work early in th morning, so they don't have time to read newspaper or watch TV.
These are two main cases when people listen to radio in their cars. Sometimes it happens that the reception is very bad, there are alo several factors that can influence it. The most interesting fact that I learned is that some car structures can block radio signals. This is because of the fact that radio signals can bounce off the metal of the car. This is the same principle that helps radar guns to detect the speed of a moving vehicle.
Good luck to you, drive safely, and don't speed because driving this morning I've noticed many police officers with hand-held police radar guns out on the streets. Be careful!
