Radios were out long before 1960, but in the 1960's the first transistor radio came out. Before that radios had been fairly large and hard to carry around since they needed to be plugged into a wall. The transistor radio was small enough that it could fit into a pocket ( about the size of the today's cell phone) and it ran on batteries. Add an earphone to it and it was a student's answer to not paying attention. Music could not be added to it and it most cases it would only receive AM radio, so depending on your area you may not get too many stations.
