Well the world is changing pretty fast. In reading the other thread about 66CFR chaning to an all day news station it is becoming quite obvious that AM radio is going to be for talk shows exclusively. It got me thinking of how 35 years down the road when I'm the same age as Sample00 or Cheese that I'll be telling people about how I used to

Be able to hear music on AM radio, and that in some cases it wasn't even all oldies, there were stations that played that played new music on the ill fated AM dial.

I'll also be able to talk of the pay phone and how when I was in highschool and wanted a ride somewhere I would have to find a pay phone and have 25 cents or place a local collect call to my parents. Heck even as I got older and first went to bars no-one under the age of 35 had a cell phone, and if they did they certainly didn't take it to the bar. Nowadays they have rooms in the bar where people sit there and interact exclusively on their cell phones with text messanging and the like with people in that same room. Bizarre.

What else will the kids of the future hear from the old folks?
