With the massive blackout that hit Spain, Portugal and other regions of Europe on Monday, April 28, once again the good old battery-powered radio proved to be the king. Without electricity, cell phone or Internet signal, people turned to the radio to stay informed. These are just some of the posts that flooded Twitter, from Spaniards grateful to have a simple battery-powered AM-FM receiver in their homes. Does anyone still have any doubts about the importance of the radio?
