Imagining our world today with out television will prove to be difficult. But only a few generations back did the radio rule the technological era for many reasons. It was something unheard of, being able to broadcast ones voice over a vast region that will be heard in almost everyone home in america if tuned to the right station. The Radio was so interesting and unique to the public that almost every home in america had a radio in it. It was technology that forever changed society.

Not only did the invention of the radio change the world, but it changed society. It wielded the power to glue countries and communities closer. One of the most famous uses of the radio was Fireside chats with Franklin D. Roosevelt. FDR used the radio to communicate greatly with his people of the nation to help inform them first hand about what he plans to do and how.
