So I believe that the biggest oxymoron has finally come to be. The oh so powerful and technically advanced iPhone has a new app to it, the FM and AM radio app. Whenever I think of radio, I think of a big wooden radio where families gathered to listen to stories and to spend time together. I think of radios cranked up in parking lots so that sweethearts can softly sway to the sound of their song on a moonlit night. I think of hot summer days and country music playing as we harvested our crop. So now you can listen to the radio anywhere on your iPhone. And one great feature of the iPhone is that if you have a call coming in, it cancels the radio and flips you over to the call. It's amazig to think that the phone has advanced so far! It used to just be a couple of buttons that carried your voice over some invisible wire to the communicatee. Then came games like snake, then smaller phones, then flip phones, then colored screen phones, then music and interet on your phone and then super intense all in one computer and phone, Blackberries and iPhones. So it is, that technology is growing, technology is advancing and technology is combining things into one, like radios and iPhones.
