I listen to music everyday. A lot of times when I'm listening to music, its in the car when i'm listening to the AM/FM radio. I can listen to all my favorite genres of music and pick up on whats new and popular. When I find something I like, I'll use the shazam app on my phone and shazam it and it will tell me what song it is and who the artist is. Then I add it to my apple music play list that I pay for monthly. Student discount gets you half off, so why not? Plus, I can download as many songs as I want, everyday, and I can listen to them whatever I want. If I'm not in the car, then I will be listening to my apple music on my air pods, a speaker, or just playing it out loud on my iPhone. I also listen to Pandora, which is another music app. Its free and you can create your own stations but you can't listen to specific songs.
When I was younger, when I listened to music, it was either on the radio or a CD player that had headphone attached to it and I could carry around with me. I always had a AM/FM radio in my room so I could listen to music. Sometimes they had a CD player in them. Anytime I was on the go, I had my portable CD player with me. Then, when I got older, I got a iPod touch for Christmas. I had iTunes where I could buy music for 99 cents. Then an iPhone, then Pandora, then apple music. What hasn't changed is listening to the FM radio in the car.
When I do listen the radio in the car, I only listen the FM radio, never the AM. The only time I've listened to the AM radio is when I was forced to listen to it when my dad always drove me around when I was younger and he wanted to listen to talk radio and sports. I was reading an article ( http://www.electronicdesign.com/blog/future-am-radio ) about how AM radio is decreasing dramatically, especially compared to FM. As of 2015, there were only 4,684 stations left on AM radio because of so many stations going out of business due to technical difficulties with loosing connection because of other stations on the same frequency, the sound, other technologies that have been invented that provide music and information, etc. At the same time, FM had around 12,000 stations. There are also so many devices that have become such a big part of our lives that have made it easier to listen to music. Like we talked about in class, things like iPod's, smartphones and internet. I don't think that the radio will ever become extinct but I do predict that AM radio stations will eventually die. Radio is enjoyed by too many people and is so depended upon in many cases that I find it hard to believe that anything could replace the radio. However, its not so depended upon that we need both an AM and a FM radio.
