Have you heard of Guglielmo Marconi? He is said to have invented radio at the end of the nineteenth century. Until television become widespread, radio was one of the basic means of communication and entertainment. the simple transistor radio may seem a little old-fashioned in these days of mobile phones, laptop computers, and iPods. However, radio waves, which are invisible and undetectable to humans, have changed the wold completely. When you use a mobile or cordless phone,a wireless network for your laptop, or switch TV channels by remote control, you are using radio waves.
