To think that the radio was created 90 years ago today is crazy to think about. The world of technology has defiantly advanced so much since then. But 90 years ago today, with a simple print advertisement, the bland department store sparked what would within weeks become one of the largest revolutions in communications and the arts of all time—commercial radio. However before 1920 radio was believe to be a practical for military but had no place in the home. Radio was considered “hobby” or more of a way to talk. Frank Conrad engineer at Westinghouse would not let his technology go to water he last created his own radio transmitter. growing tired of beeping of Morse code, flipped things over to his gramophone, letting people miles away listen to music he chose. He was DJing, almost a century ago. Within three years, over 500 other stations were operating around the country, and half a million radios had been moved off shelves. Ninety years later, you can't escape a passing car blasting Katy Perry on its radio or hearing the same drake song over and over. Radio was the begging of technology today.
