Abstract: As a child, I received a plastic, six-transistor radio for Christmas. My older sister was given a metal eight-transistor radio in a leather case. I was infinitely pleased one day when I surreptitiously opened up her radio and found that two of the transistors served no function other than marketing value! My radio became my constant companion. Wherever I was, I had “my media access system” with me. This was my first taste of freedom of choice in media. While my radio produced a decidedly low fidelity sound, it allowed me to experience media that my parents would have never chosen. Its later replacement permitted access to the entire world as it had a shortwave band and further expanded my choices. I was still primarily limited to the “push-based” media that were being broadcast. The only “pull-based” media in those years were the 45 record and LP album and those were decidedly not portable or mobile. As you can imagine, based on this experience, in later years I became an early fan of the iPod.
