Birth Of The Radio Age
During the 1920’s one of the most innovative creations of the time was the radio. This invention transformed society overnight and brought forth many social gatherings to join in with a common interest. Channels would broadcast news reports, different sporting events, music stations and religious practices all available to those who could afford a receiver, which was relatively cheap. It brought people from much greater distances together within in the comfort of their own home. The invention of the radio gave way to many more modernized versions of it such as television and the internet, which have the same objectives and concepts, to connect the world to your home.
Considering its’ success, the radio enabled an access point into majority of American homes. By doing so, it spawned many new jobs and created new ways to advertise products, which in turn leads to higher production. It also enabled society to stay current with news stories, but also gave them the option to enjoy an outlet of entertainment as well. The radio then is very much comparable to the television today, whereas people would come together for certain show programming or sporting events.
