[Hallicrafters] Sorry, but I Just Need to Pass This On.

[Barry H]

Nevermind the Internet, over the last 20 years or so, everyone and his kid brother has become a QRP transceiver operator using repeaters -- yup -- from car phones to bag phones to tiny cell phones with built in SSTV and now real time TV.  What are cell phones anyway -- radios. And they trade up their "rigs" every year or two.  If Hallicrafters survived, they'd be in it too.  No?  How about "Hello Moto!" -- as in Motorola (RAZR, etc.)

Ironically, the new age "radio" has gone back to the original (and preserved in the UK) term -- wireless.

Gugliermo is saying now to everybody in the next world -- "Hey, what I tell you, eh?  And when you quote me, that's 'Marconi', not macaroni, hey!"

Let's see, the Internet is "mimicking radio."  Is it
now?  As I see it in your example, the transmission
medium to the end user is radio.  Wi-Fi and all that
is radio.  So radio continues to be the medium of
choice for even the newest technology concepts,
bringing entertainment and information to us and our
children, as radio has done for the past 90 years or
so.  So, is radio being "mimicked," or has radio been
reinvented and given a new lease on life?  There's a
lesson in there somewhere, I think.

Where do we go from here?  We die, and make way for
others with different dreams, as did those who have
gone before us.  It's a fun ride, I think.
