BROADCASTING IN 2030!
EVERY COUNTRY TO BE "ELECTRIFIED"!
MIXTURE OF ENGLISH AND AMERICAN AS INTERNATIONAL
LANGUAGE.
A short time ago British Broadcasting celebrated its eighth birthday. In less than ten years radio has enormously changed the world, tremendous strides having been made,
If all this happens in a decade, what will a century bring↑
The ordinary loud speaker of to day has no more to do with truc music than has a hurdy gurdy.
Below some famous broadensters and writers venture to debate this interesting problem. Christopher Stone,
I will be expanded until every radio gramophone—there will be no more separate radio receivers or gramo phonos-will be all-electric, without serial or earth, and equipped with television apparatus by which we shall see studio programmes, cur ront events, or the latest films ac- cording to the alternative, pro gramme wo select-there will be dozens from which to choose. But we shall probably have these things within thirty years and they inny be antiquated and out of date be fore 2030,
THE GRAMOFHONE CRITIC. In a recent British film it was indicated that is ten years we shall have combined wireless telephones and televisors in everyday use. I this is going to happen in ten years, and remembering what has happened in the past ten years, how shall I debate what shall be a contury hence? No, I can merely indicate the general trend of the way things will probably go.
In my own field one thing in certain. The circular grathophone
Before earo-fren wireless setè can dise will go. It will be replaced become universal, however, every by some kind of sound-on-film country will have to be "cloetri system in a long roll, correspond. fied." Several European countries ing very closely to the manscript are still relying on gna for their days of writing. Thus, there will main power, so there is still much be no need to break up a symphony to be done, into twelve equal parts and jump up to turn the record at each part until the effect of the music is ruin ed twelve different times.
Portable Sets Paramount? Wo shall just sit still and do no thing, as the fortunato possessors of gramophones which automaticnl ly change the records are able to
do to-day.
Also, I seo much in the portable act. In all probability the funda mental system underlying this idea!
Signor Arturo Toscanini,
It is hoped, however, that within century much change will have been wrought. Broadcasting on the Contintent and in America must be. freed from the chaina, either of State or of Advertising, which If I had my way, encompass it. every broadcasting station should be ruled by a selected body of musicians, dramatists, and other satellites of the creative arts.
Walting for the Perfect Speaker.
Eventually a perfect loud speaker will be invented, and then every sphero of human activity, the plac ing of each separate brick on the wall of civilisation will be broad cast from one station or another.
Not a public event but will not be described to listeners, not a con- cert that will not be overheard by the microphone, not a single spocch of note that will not be followed by millions.
THE FAMOUS ITALIAN CONDUTCGR. Broadcasting certainly has done a lot in its ten years of life, but I am not altogether sure that its work has been to the good "--as
There will be no studios as we you say. In the world of music, at least, radio has done nothing know them. Every place will be but separate the heart of music adapted to the microphone, and the from its body. At the moment, you broadcasting headquarters will b cannot hear an orchestra through a occupied only by programme or loud speakers You merely hear a ganisere and engineers, tuno-a, very, very different thing.
