You have a sample size of one. If AM radios were common when you were a teenager, Brezhnev had yet to take Afghanistan. Which meant you lived in a world without recycling, where "compact cars" were 3500lb monstrosities like the AMC Pacer. Ask yourself: which consumes more resources to make, a Motorola AM radio powered by 9V batteries or an iPhone? Which consumes more resources to operate?

I'll also point out that I in no way insulted you. Just because I've read studies and can back my statements up with facts does not mean I'm "smoking crack."
