I once had a cheap radio and a pair of walkie-talkies, and somehow managed to convince myself that if I touched the radio aerial with the walkie-talkie aerial, I could transmit on the same frequency as the radio station, and shout over the top of the presenter's voice at everyone who was currently listening to that station. Something to do with frequencies and tuning forks at school, probably. *Sigh* If only it was that simple...
A childhood belief about technology
others believed things like this
- I used to wonder how they managed to fit the orchestra into the radio station.
— sally - We used to turn our walkie talkies on high at night and believed were communicating with aliens!— Dreamy
- I used to think that when a song finished on the radio it would play again on the next station— Maria
- I used to believe that if you spoke into the speakers that they would hear it at the radio station. — natalie
- I use to believe all the people singing on the radio were IN the radio.— Yvonne
- When listening to the radio in the mornings I felt sorry for singers they had to come and sing that early. — Tereza
