Radio

After the invention of the telegraph, the similar idea of using electricty led to antennas. These handy devices could transmit messages through the air, a wonder to the world at that time. The first succesful use of radio transmitted messages was in 1878, but how this worked wasn't until 1888. All this excitement got scientists riled up, so they made more and more advances in this technology, like being able to talk into something and have it sent to a device on the other side of the city. Tis accomplishment was made in 1896. A main pioneer in this field, Nikola Tesla, conducted hundreds of experiments to help with these advancements. Although he is not the true inventor of the radio, he deserves much credit for this and many other later inventions. This radio made communication easier and more efficient for everyone. The governments could easily spread messgaes to their peoples, commanders could quickly send mesages to troops on the field, and normal people could cheaply talk with family or friends.
