Guglielmo Marconi is considered the inventor of radio. In the late 1890s, Marconi developed wireless telegraphy, which allowed transmission of Morse code signals over long distances without wires. He demonstrated the value of this technology when he helped save lives after the Titanic disaster in 1912 by alerting nearby ships of the sinking via wireless telegraphy. Throughout the early 1900s, other inventors like Edwin Armstrong continued developing radio technologies, leading to FM radio in the 1930s and the transistor radio in the 1950s. Today, radio remains a popular medium of entertainment and information, now available in various forms including internet and satellite radio.
