PERSONAS

Personal Radio

I believe that in the future people can create their own radio station cliquing on different kind of music, speakers and topics. You can even decide what time you want to listen to something specific. For example, if you know that you are a bit slow in the morning it automatically plays motivating dance music. In the car they the radio will tell you the latest news so you have something interesting to discuss about with your colleague at work. At work when you need to concentrate the radio will play calm music with lyrics that you cannot sing along with. And like that for the rest of the day. Of course, you can change these settings whenever you want. 

Herbert, 78 years old.

My grandparents inspired this character. Herbert waked up at 5.30 almost every morning without an alarm and immediately puts on Radio Vega when he makes his morning coffee. Then the radio is on almost all day, especially when the news and the weather forecast comes, even though Herbert is not outside that much.  Herbert likes to listen to music that was popular when he was young (and middle age) and programs that tell about local happenings.

Jasper, 5 years old

Jasper is a kid who already at 5 years old knows what he wants. He has a playlist of his own on his mother’s computer and father’s iPad, that they created together on Spotify and iTunes. He listens to it every day. When Jasper hears a new song in kindergarten, he adds the new song to his playlists when he gets home, with help of his parents. Sometimes Jaspers parents download a story that Jasper listens to with excitement, until he suddenly falls asleep.
