There's a series on the History channel about engineering marvels. Saw one this week about one man's efforts (financially especially) to lay the first communications cable across the Atlantic. He failed once but consequently had a ship built big enough and strong enough to hold the many tons of cable. Truly unbelievable...
I listen to the radio in my car while running errands, etc. That's where I first heard that Elizabeth II had died in September 2022. My grandmother said that her aunt, who was blind, loved to listen to the Red Sox games on the radio (she died in 1998), and my grandfather said his father always wanted to finish the farm chores in time to listen to Amos and Andy on the radio.
When you think about it, 100 years is not that long ago considering what we have in technology today. It seemed to rocket forth after the 60's though. I remember getting my first clock radio, a big deal. I still have my old "transistor radio* somewhere. (I come across it now and then) Does listening to music and news on Alexa count?
