radios and TVs can only have one station at a time.
Excpet that they're figuring out they can multitask TV as well. Badly. It's funny but I find CNN, for example, drives me nuts. Too much happening at the same time. Everything is always on "breaking news" mode because they don't want you to change the station.
I definitely prefer the control I get with a computer, over TV and radio. Though I like the radio a lot too; it's good for multitasking. And letting somebody else choose the "agenda" is fine too, while I'm otherwise occupied (with chores or washing dishes)
Too bad the radio-broadcaster dongle Mom & Dad got me for Christmas doesn't have a strong enough signal to broadcast my computer's audio further than 10 feet, I'd really like to be able to treat computer output like radio too.
