The History Of Radio

Radio is one of the most important technological inventions in recent history, and paved the road for advanced communication, exploration, entertainment, and music discovery. Since its birth in the late 1890s, radio has evolved to fit the needs of the times. We trace its journey from Tesla to Turntable.fm.

I think the visualisation failed to mention marine radios and how they were important for communication out at sea. Before GPS satellites and satellite phones, radio was an important means of communication, and when it failed, ships should find themselves lost at sea.
