When the VCR first came out it was great. You could watch movies in the privacy of your own home, you could rewind and rewatch your favorite parts and you could save those movies to watch again and again. It revolutionized how we watched movies. However, nowadays we have DVD players and the VCR players are becoming obsolete. The same thing, it seems, is happening to the clock radio alarm. Many people aren’t using clock radio alarms like they used to. Today we have MP3 players that allow us to wake up to our favorite music instead of just relying on whatever may be on the radio that morning. Are clock radio alarms becoming obsolete? Maybe so, but there are still those who live by them and wake up to them every morning.

Why Some People Don’t Like Them

Some people don’t like clock radio alarms because they just don’t wake them up. Most clock radio alarms have a dual function that allows you to wake up to an annoying screeching alarm. This is more effective for waking you up. When you wake up to music, some people won’t wake up. They’ll simply lay there and dream about the music they’re listening to; which makes the clock radio alarm kind of useless. However, with the MP3 alarm, you can choose what music to wake up to. You may want to choose music you don’t like so that you’re forced to turn it off; thus waking you up.

Some Still Swear By Them

There are still those who prefer the clock radio alarm to wake up to. They don’t want MP3 alarm clocks or CD clock radios that allow you to choose what you wake up to, they want to leave their music to chance. They want every morning to be different. If you wake up to the same music every morning, you can fall into the trap of not paying attention to it. If you leave your music choices to the radio station you choose to set the clock radio to, you have a chance to wake up to new music every day, which could set a great tone for the rest of your day.

The clock radio alarm will probably never go away. Some people may not like them and may prefer MP3 player alarm clocks, but there are still enough clock radio alarm clock enthusiasts around to keep this technology alive; unlike the obsolete VCR.
