It is no doubt that Internet use increases rapidly every day, and it offers numerous digital radio stations - about 20, 000 from all over the world. But still, around 67% of people prefer listening to old-fashioned radios each week. What are the reasons? The first reason is technology. Internet radios are often very expensive, while traditional ones are not. They also need to have an Internet connection to work well. That is very difficult for the middle-aged and pensioners to use radios in their car, at home or even at work. The second reason is that listening to the radio makes people feel good. A recent survey shows that teenagers like listening to old-fashioned radios because they feel like they have a friend talking to them. For older people, they feel like the presenters are with them in the car or at their home, talking about things and places older listeners are familiar with. Traditional radios also have suitable content for both adults and children. That is why many people choose old-fashioned radios.
