Here is my new newsletter article! 🙂
Why the Transistor Radio Was Actually the First Smartphone (And What That Teaches Us About Digital Transformation)
Before we had smartphones creating personal media bubbles, teenagers in the 1950s were doing the exact same thing with transistor radios.
They'd escape to their bedrooms, tune into rock and roll (that parents hated), and discover pirate radio stations broadcasting rebellion from ships offshore.
Sound familiar?
This isn't just tech nostalgia. It's a pattern that reveals something crucial about how technologies actually evolve—and why our current AI fears might be missing the point.
Radio didn't kill newspapers. TV didn't kill radio. The internet didn't kill any of them. They all found new ways to matter.
As Marshall McLuhan said: "The medium is the message." To understand what's happening in our digital age, we need to understand the media themselves—not just the content they carry.
New newsletter exploring this pattern and what it means for our hybrid analog-digital future 👇
What do you think? Are we repeating history or writing something entirely new?

There is a very simple solution to the #adblocker war that large #media platforms are having:
Most people lately have been turning to AdBlock features since the ads have become so cringe, and so scummy.
Most of them are #aislop selling you nonsense or straight up scamming you.
Just make the ads actually bearable and a lot more people would deal with them.
I'd argue modern ads on #streaming are worse than old TV since at least TV ads had some effort and creativity.
