The central building block of civilization is communication. The development of language allowed for complex societal structures to develop and spread throughout the world. In the past, information could only be spread in person. Eventually written languages developed and later still, the ability to print became widespread. In the modern day, the internet is revolutionizing the spread of information. Making it possible for individuals to make their voice heard around the world. A century ago, the technology that was dramatically changing communication was the radio. Instead of relying on newspapers or complex telegraph infrastructure people could tune in to radio stations miles away and learn or be entertained in real time. At its core, radio technology allows the world to be more connected; both among individuals and cultures.
