Due to fast innovation of technology, many are busy with their new apps and games online. Many are hook up with social media like facebook where they can now watch videos and download their favorite music. Do you still turn on the radio app on your phone or do you still have your mini radio box and listen to your favorite music and DJ?

Well.....yes and no. I don't listen to the radio in my car (except for sports, breaking news or weather alerts), but I do listen to a public radio station in Knoxville, Tennessee (about 250 miles from me) over the internet or on an app on my phone. I also listen to the bluegrass and Americana shows on the local public radio station. Even in baseball season I tend to use the MLB app more than listening to the radio (unless I'm driving at night and can pick up a station from St. Louis, Atlanta, Chicago, or another town and listen to their baseball games....because I don't like my "local" team that much). For music I tend to rely on the Knoxville station (that plays Americana most of the time, plus a morning bluegrass show, a weekly classic country show, and even a friend's jazz/blues show) and the recommendations of friends (all of whom know better than to suggest something that sounds like Journey or Poison to me ).

Speaking of baseball, here in LA you can only watch the Dodgers on Spectrum but I have Directv and the team is blacked out locally on MLB so I can only follow the team on radio.

I do both, I have spotify for my playlist, three local radio stations apps on my tablet and every once in awhile I turn on the radio for fun, because that's all I did growing up was listen to the radio. One of my high school friends is a DJ for the independent alternative rock station. So I make sure to listen when I can.

Radio is still a good source of information and entertainment especially during the typhoon season when all lines or power and the Internet is down

I would, but usually my son in the house has his things he listen to on YouTube instead. I do not like to put headphones on.

That's fine. My mom doesn't want us to use headphones either. So sometimes we put the speaker on. But really I just want to use my ear phones.

I still listen to the radio. You can carry the radio and listen to it anywhere since it is in the phone. The hot discussion in the radio shows are heartwarming, comical and enlightening. I do not think the use of radio will ever stop. It is the best and quickest way of getting information and news everywhere even in the remote areas.

Most of the time when listening to something from my Computer it is like YouTube... and then from my phone it is usually a Music ap. The only time you will find my husband or I listening to the radio is when we are driving down the road to somewhere.
