@Sheril I’m going to share this to my network of youth workers who have to handle gaming and social media related panic on a daily basis 😄

@Sheril and believe me upon the direction of the school board after the parent teacher meeting i had to consult the doctor for my child behavior. Like this seems so real in today's world except replacing the radio word with internet.

@Sheril if I was a kid in 1948 I'd probably be a radio addict too

@Sheril If only they had listened to those of us screaming about the dangers of right wing talk radio for adults a few years ago ;^)

@Sheril holy cow, “commercials are good actually, they teach kids to be obedient little drones who can follow directions” that’s horrifying

@Sheril put a Tik Tok addicted kid in front of a radio play from that era and see how long they can sit still and pay attention

@Sheril Have you investigated his play situations? 🤣

@Sheril Fascinating! Here's a clipping that shows the whole article (just a few lines below what your picture covers) - https://www.newspapers.com/article/fort-worth-star-telegram-radio-addiction/90078617/

@Sheril I find it interesting that they call the radio an "instrument". I like how it highlights that it occupies the same creative space as a musician would, and wonder if that could possibly be an awareness that faded with time as recorded music became more normalized.
