This cracked me up. I don't think Isaac Asimov was a very big fan of blasters. The topic turns to radios as Dave mentions how complex technology is getting, saying he can't even set his clock radio anymore without opening the manual! But Isaac counters: early on, even radios were darn near impossible to tune.

And then Dave adds that radios have gone from the size of a Buick to handheld device, at which point Isaac says, "Unless you want to walk down the street playing at the top of the range, then it's back to the Buick."
