Object & Audience

I chose a old CB radio for my object. The audience that would be interested in this type of radio would be small trade businesses, truck drivers, radio hobbyists and anyone interested in different forms of communication. They were probably introduced to this device through their job or through someone who is a radio hobbyist. People use these radios as a means of communication. Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, a phenomenon developed over CB radios. Similar to internet chat rooms, the CB allowed people to get to know one another in a quasi-anonymous manner. Many movies and stories about CBers and the culture on-the-air developed. People  might want to see an exhibit about this object because a lot of people grew up using this object and still use them today.
