The history of the radio
The radio seems so common now, not only stationary large radios exist but also small seemless radios in cars. It is a large part of the media, which is transmitted through voice and music with a wide reach. Telegraphy was the discovery of electromagnetic waves by Heinrich Hertz in the years 1887 and 1888th tube-powered transmitters generated high-frequency vibrations, which allowed the transmission of voice and music. In the beginning, no one thought of "entertainment broadcast", but to the commercial and military use to spread a message to many recipients. Detector tube devices and apparatuses have been used to in the First World War. Also stock market data were so common. The radio for entertainment purposes began first in the Netherlands and the USA. On October 28, 1923, was so far in Germany.

A foxtrot was brought to hearing from the Berlin Vox House. It is hard to imagine that such a discovery can have such a large impact on everyone. The media which was abused as many others for propaganda purposes is now used for songs, audiobooks and news updates. Nowadays everyone has access to a radio even on their smartphone there are apps for each different radio channel.
