In 1895 Guglielmo Marconi (goo-lee-air / Mar-cone-ie) invented what he called "the wireless telegraph." He used radio waves to transmit Morse code and the instrument he used became known as the radio. The radio has allowed people to be heard over hundreds and even thousands of miles away. It has allowed ships
to communicate out at sea, It has formed Europe's most famous broadcasting company or BBC to play classical music, plays and various programs in witch Marconi was involved in. The radio was the second family life during world war 2, it held on my a tread in the fifties when it was soon replaced by television. Now a days it seems to only be useful in cars to keep drivers from falling asleep. Today it has a very vital existence compared to the microwave, Cellphone's, and the computer. The radio had been "upgraded" so the speak, that it now comes on cellphones and computers, They have websites that play music for you and record the broadcast for you to listen later on. In a way the radio still exist, but in new forms of life.
