The invention of radio was something out of this world. It was the first live medium of mass communication. This meant that you no longer had to go see someone or something live in person to hear it live. Also since if it was playing on the radio it meant that the segment was being recorded. If it was recorded you could skip the first live broadcast and just listen to it another day. That changed the world as we knew it.
Radio meant that we could finally listen to more than one thing at once. If you could afford more than one radio the whole family didn't have to gather around the one in the living room or what not. This was amazing and made the creators of the many different kinds of radios money.
Mr. Miller did a very nice job explaining what radio did for individuals world. They made life better and implied that our world was growing in technology. Soon enough T.V. would come along.
Radio also let people get breaking news instantly rather than through the grapevine. Through the grapevine news was usually passed on slowly and changed with however many people it was passed on to. But with radio it wasn't changed and it was recorded so someone could go find the recording and play it back.
