Radio in the New Age

The Author, Phillip Lopate, Introduces himself in “The Essay, An Exercise in Doubt” as an essayiest; a professional essay writer. This was an interesting discovery for me, when I think of an author I never considered that there was a market for writing essays alone. Lopate introduction alone sparked my interest. I was not sure where the essay would lead me but was aware that I would be engaged and informed.

Writing is a powerful tool for communication and connection. As an extension and expression of the mind, writing is as much about the mental processes of the author as it is about the final marks laid to paper. As we write, we hold in mind our own thoughts on the work, anticipate the reader’s thoughts, and think both in concrete and abstract ways in order to accomplish the task at hand. Whether an academic research paper, a novel, or text message to friends, writing seeks to engage, persuade, or impress concepts upon an audience. Like language and other art forms in general, the practice of writing is ever-evolving and is subject to cultural and contextual influence, expectations, and conventions. Each writer holds a theory

Good character has to do with how you act as a person and show your emotions towards situations. To have good character, you need to show the six character traits. The six character traits are caring, respect, fairness, citizenship, responsibility, and trustworthiness. These are very important in life because this is how people will see you, the way you act reflects your character and if you show a bad attitude then you won't have many friends because people will look at you as pessimistic and not wanna be around you because you're so negative.

The movie “Radio” is the tale of a young African-American man who suffers from severe mental retardness and his journey to fame from football in the small South Carolinian town of Anderson.

After the First World War, many people were looking forward to good times. The 1920’s presented people with this time of fast-paced fun and adventure. Entertainment was the foremost part of everyday life during the 1920’s. Radio introduced a whole new practice of entertainment to people’s everyday lives. Likewise, through the utilization of the radio, people were able to experience a new medium to entertain themselves. Furthermore, the radio changed the face of society’s culture through its widespread use. In addition, radios provided people with a new, effective and efficient means of communication. Radio was a fundamental aspect in people’s lives during the 1920’s as it provided many people with news and entertainment in their

At the beginning of the decade the nation was still groggy from waking up to a new decade after fighting in World War I. In 1921 President Harding took office and set the course for economic prosperity and a self-propelling nation. The decade of 1920 presented many national shifts of aspects in economy and culture that would include outrageous activity in the stock markets, the use of the radio as a mass media tool, the artistic movement known as the Harlem Renaissance and the age of prohibition. With such changes occurring on a national level the decade became known as the Roaring 20’s.

The radio when it was invented by Guglielmo Marconi in 1913 people were unsure of it until it makes a bigger impact in the 1920s it became an American pastime, it majorly helped the rapid growth women getting out of their normal work roles, bringing music sports and politics into the home lives of many Americans, and the brining of many new radio stations.

My initial reaction to my essay was rather...meh. The writing was still very characteristic of Dave Gao. There were no gasps of horror induced by my former writing quality. But as I peered deeper into the language of the paper, I began to notice subtle, yet significant changes I had undergone throughout the year. I have to admit that at the time, I believed my essay was excellent—a verifiable work of beauty. Now, the essay looked crude, and a bit too simplistic. The vocabulary seemed rather

One hundred and twenty years ago a young Italian, Gugliemo Marconi, from Bologna Italy, sent and received the first radio signal. Since that time the development of the radio has come a long way. From the 1920s to the 1940s radios were the main source of news and entertainment in homes across America. It was not until 1969 when the first boombox was invented. The boombox was the staple of the 1990s. As we can see in movies such as Say Anything¬¬¬— produced the same year as Do the Right Thing— the boombox became the trademark of a generation. Spike Lee comprehends the effectiveness of the boombox and cleverly develops a character based around it, Radio Raheem. Radio Raheem’s boombox gives voice to the oppressed black community in the New

Radio broadcast started in the 1920’s though not many people heard it,the public however could hear it well and was filled with radio’s. Many families would gather around the radios at night for their own entertainment. The first radio used and bought was the crystal radio to make these very simple radios you needed a piece of lead galena, crystal, and a cat whisker these radios were not very productive because people could make them at home if they wanted to. By 1922, 600 radio stations popped up in the United States. The very first radio station in Chicago in 1921 by Westinghouse Electric and a manufacturing company was KYW. It played apra music 6 days a week and became a favorite in Chicago. After apra singing started getting old they

The essay is your dad getting laid off from his ritzy Inner Harbor job and having to sell used cars for a living when you are 10 years old. Every few weekends, you would beg your dad if you could go with him to one of the exotic locales where he sells his cars. This weekend, it was Princeton, New Jersey. The buildings there look like scary European castles, but you agree to smile and pose and help your father stumble over his touch screen to send them, captioned “She got in!!” to a number labeled “Wifey”, who will probably have to read the text when she is driving home from the nursing home after a 16 hour

Sound is a very powerful tool that people in everyday life use to portray certain emotions to whomever is the intended audience. In written essays it is much more difficult to have the same types of emotions and language portrayed. When verbally communicating an essay, the author is able to get sarcasm, jokes, and emphasis on certain points across much easier than if they were presenting the same ideas in a written essay. In this particular podcast, The Sunshine Hotel, the majority of the podcast is conducted as if the listener is being taken on a tour of the hotel. The overall tone of the podcast is very inviting to the reader and welcomes them to explore the hotel with the owner of it.

For decades, National Public Radio has maintained a legacy as a successful worldwide news organization. However, the news produced tends to be consumed mainly by an older audience. It has a reputation among millennials as one of the less entertaining news outlets. It is essential for news to be exciting in order to capture the attention of this millennial audience, and NPR tends to lack the excitement value it needs to fully reach this massive demographic. In order for the station to better attract and maintain millennial readers, viewers and listeners, the organization needs to cater to their lifestyle habits and preferences. In a constantly changing and developing world, NPR needs to be ahead of the game in technological advancements.

The radio is one of the most influential pieces of technology ever invented. From political debates to Taylor Swift’s latest hit, with the help of the radio, society stays informed on a plethora of topics. Freddie Mercury wasn’t lying when he said, “and everything I had to know, I learned it on my radio.” In almost every country in the world, there is at least one radio station used to broadcast news to it’s people. Since the creation of the FM radio, it has been used to reach out to people over a certain area and keep them informed about the society they live in. During the 1930s and the 1940s, the radio played a very important role in history; it was a tool used during World War II by America, Great Britain, and Nazi Germany. By sending

“Cyberspace is not a physical place - it defies measurement in any physical dimension or time space continuum. It is a shorthand term that refers to the environment created by the confluence of cooperative networks of computers, information systems, and telecommunication infrastructure commonly referred to as the World Wide Web” (Wingfield 2007, 45).
