Radio Rodeo

If in the previous post it is advised that one watches the television, specifically teleserye, in Filipino radio stations, there is also a radio-serye (??). As said, it is a radio serye where stories are being told over... the radio. One is able to use his/her imagination of how the story is going, since it's onlly the voice that can be heard. Or if you're not a fan of listening to radio series, then you can switch it to FM radio where you'd hear lovenotes, DJs talking and/or advertising things, etc.

This is the 2nd to the last best things to do when raining.



6. Listen to the radio

Check out the History of Radio:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_radio

The pre-history and early history of radio is the history of technology that produced radio instruments that use radio waves. Within the timeline of radio, many people contributed theory and inventions in what became radio. Radio development began as "wireless telegraphy". Later radio history increasingly involves matters of programming and content.

Lists of Radio inventors:

  • Jagadish Chandra Bose
  • Guglielmo Marconi, who equipped ships with life-saving wireless communications, conducted a reported transatlantic radio communications experiments in 1901 and established the first commercial transatlantic radio service in 1907.
  • Alexander Stepanovic Popov
  • Nikola Tesla, who developed means to reliably produce radio frequency currents, publicly demonstrated the principles of radio, and transmitted long distance signals. In 1943 the US Supreme Court upheld Tesla's patent number U.S. Patent 645,576.

The reason it is not obvious who invented radio is that the technology is a product of many different discoveries and developments.
