Automobiles these days come with a touchscreen where you can control everything with your fingers. I remember a while back, at the center dash you have two knobs and a plastic screen with numbers and a small red stick moving by the numbers. This is how you search for AM or FM depending where you are. Later digital screen is taking place with cassette or CD player. Now there is no such thing. You may be lucky cause I heard they may get rid of the radio as well.
Everything about music may have to come from your phone. Here we go Android play or Apple pay. I forgot to mention GPS was a thing before Apple play changes everything again. Personally using the radio is becoming obsolete unless you drive a newer vehicle where your phone is the entertainment from your house to your car. What a conveniency you have on our hands.
I tried not to use my phone, radio while driving. First it is weird staying quiet by myself. I got to enjoy the road and the noise that comes with it. I was a bit more focus but I feel the need for another noise. I can hear the wind while driving. It is not bad but it is there. It feels strange cause you do not hear much of it while the music is blasting.
I took that opportunity to think a little. Actually I found the idea to post about it. Do any of you can drive for 30 minutes with no music? This is not the first time but I did go all the way. Most folks use that time to make a phone call. Just the quiet part where you can hear the tires, the exhaust of a motorcycle passing clearer. It was worth trying depending the speed your are moving.
I was not going too fast due to traffic on turnpike and it was steady but slow at certain areas. Right now the state is enlarging the expressway. it is two lanes in certain areas. There are adding one lane on each side to ease up traffic. They do most work at night due to traffic. It is fun to try it and it helps to concentrate with traffic flow. What is most important, drive safely and drive according to speed limit. It is mostly on this side of the road 55, 60, 65, all the way to 70 MPH in Palm Beach County and Broward County. Sometimes it is good to appreciate a little quietness.
