At and around the turn of the century, many new inovations were being made that aided in mass communication. For example:

• July 2nd, 1900 = Count Ferdinand Von Zeppelin flies the first zeppelin this was a big step in commnication becuase zeppelins not only influenced one of the greates rock bands in history (Led Zeppelin) but they also aided in communication and transportation. In addition, they came to have a big role in World War I as bombers and reconnaissance. One of the most famous of these was the Hindenburg.



• In the early 1900's, radio towers began to be constructed around the US and other parts of the world. This invention of the "wireless telgeram" dramatically aided in the development of mass communcation. One of the radio's first uses in the 1900's was for the navigation of aiplanes, who would use the AM frequency. In 1930, FM frequency became available. Radios were used as early as 1905 on navy vessels to communicate with one another. During Wolrd War I , Germany used radio for communication when the British cut their telegraph and submarine cables. Also, the US passed on Wilson's 14 points for the Peace of Paris by way of radio. Later on in the early-mid 1900's, radio waves were turned into radar, which aided in detecting planes, ships, and other people.
