History of Radio

Radio is the first device to that enables mass communication. It has allowed information to be transferred far-off, nationally and even in the most remote places. The development of the radio began in 1893 by Nikolai Tesla. His work allowed later scientists to work out the radio we now use in our daily life.

The early uses of the radio were mainly for keeping contact between ships out at sea. Radio was used as a way of communication with each other as phones did not exist. This initial radio instead sent Morse code messages back and forth between ships and stations on the land. But, radio has developed and is now able to transmit speech. Radio used to be used in emergencies, whereas now we use it on our way to work, school and listen to it in our free time. It is not used to contact others but to entertain and inform us, as the world modernised the uses of radio changed.
