100th Anniversary of Wireless
Yesterday was the 100th anniversary of the first long-distance wireless transmission (over the Atlantic), between King Edward VII and Theodore Roosevelt, via Marconi's technology.
"Can you imagine a world without television and radio? Not to mention cellphones, cordless phones, radar, microwave ovens, remote-control cars, and baby monitors?
All these devices rely on the transmission of radio signals through the air. And it was 100 years ago this Saturday that a young Italian inventor showed the globe-girdling potential of his wireless telegraph, or radio transmitter."
You know, I can't imagine a world without any of these anymore.
