Later they decided to put the radio back in the market once the government . By 1929 about 5 million radios where sold.

Before 1920 comunication was harder. Telegraph wires could not reach certain places. Thanks to the radio, those places that were out of reach were able to get in reach. The military also used the radio waves to comunicate,they comunicated with other troops and ships. The radio also allowed ships to keep in touch with the shore. This allowed them to call for help or assistance. Thanks to the radio people where able to keep in touch with the news as it happened. Unlike newspapers radios could broadcast more recent news.

Car Radio

2016dpaczosa — 2015-12-14 01:48:03 UTC

The car radio was created not long after the radio itself. People loved this new form of it because you were able to get information, listen to music and just having entertainment in a car. The batteries that were used were big and they were also stored in awful places including in the back seat and under the steering wheel. Most people like the invention because rather than not being able to listen to music or the news in the car, you were able to do those things.
