    “Radio broadcasting is one of the greatest educational tools which has ever been placed at the disposal of civilized man. It is an instantaneous, universal means of communication. It is not a new art, but is a means of multiplying the efficiency of oral communication just as the printing press multiplied the effectiveness of the written word. In addition to that, it has certain decided advantages over the printed page which it in part supplants and in part supplements” (Tyler, 1935. p.115).…

    "Video Killed the Radio Star" is the debut song of The Buggles released September 7th 1979 but, did not make an impression on the general public until its release as the debut video on MTV at 12:01 August 1st 1981, almost 100 years after the invention of radio. Henirich Hertz, a German Physicist, created the foundation of radio in 1886 by proving that electric waves could be transmitted and received without the need of a physical medium (Spiker 2). Nokolai Tesla expanded on Hertz’s design and in 1893 in Saint Louis, Missouri demonstrated that signals could be transmitted wirelessly. As with any idea there is an ongoing process to improve, and in 1896, Guglielmo Marconi considered as the father of radio received an award for his contribution to radio technology. Marconi’s early radio used dot-dash telegraphy otherwise known as Morse code to transmit messages from one ship to another (Spiker 3). When a ship had trouble at sea they used radio technology and Morse code to communicate with other ships asking for assistance such as, when the Titanic struck an ice burg in 1912 and sank. During the First World War radio technology was halted in the public sector. Radio at the time was used by military officials to communicate with soldiers and those not in the war as the government felt it could be used by spies to gain an advantage. The first government owned radio in the United States was KDKA, which began by airing results for Harding-Cox presidency (Taylor 427). Thereafter, many radio stations emerged and encompassed various forms of entertainment including music, drama and news. Radios effect on the culture of the United States is perhaps the greatest technological advancement of the 20th century. Radio re-configured values, helped usher in new forms of music, played a role in the creation of the star system of the entertainment industry and played a large role in expanding and strengthening the economy.…

    Evil Under the Sun

    • 1786 Words
    • 8 Pages

    I book I have recently read is 'Evil under the Sun' by Agatha Christie. Agatha Christie is famous for her crime mystery novels and short stories and like any other of her books this one is also a murder mystery. This book brings excitement and also challenges you to solve the mystery that Christie has brilliantly presented with the use of rather simple words and everyday language and repeats it, rather than trying to introduce new words and phrases. She also relies heavily on dialogue throughout the book. In addition, the solution often depends upon the reader’s interpretation of something that a character says. Therefore by keeping her dialogues very simple and straightforward, and not challenging the reader with the vocabulary, she leaves us free to focus on the plot.…

    Chicago's first radio station was KYW, started in 1921 by Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. KYW was also the first specialized radio station playing only opera music six days a week. The station was an instant hit and continued to be a favorite in Chicago, but after the opera season ended, the stations realized that they needed to diversify the programming. They began broadcasting things such as sports, classical music, lectures, popular music, fictional stories, newscasts, weather updates, market updates and political commentary. Radio stations created a sense of community among Americans, but as the technology grew, tension was created between the modern day and the old traditions of the United States.…
