About this item
- To some it was a miracle. Others derided it as a triumph of illiteracy. The introduction of the radio changed life in America nearly overnight. In the age of TV, radio is a second-class citizen, but for a few brief decades it was king. MODERN MARVELS tells the story of the dawn of the electronics age, when the wireless was a stunning phenomenon. Meet the men who took the work that had been done on the telegraph to the next step, and hear some of the earliest broadcasts. Radio personalities like Casey Kasem and Larry King explore the unique qualities of the medium, and reflect on its current renaissance. And historians explore the dramatic and lasting changes that the coming of the radio made on society. Don't touch that dial this is a compelling saga of invention and sweeping cultural Choose your platform/edition, then jump in—story, missions, and extras depend on the version. Rated 5.0 out of 5.

A must for the TV history buff
Being a collector/historian of early television, this was a must-have DVD. The development of televsion was a long and difficult road involving many very talented people, many dollars, and many years. I think the most interesting thing to learn was that their was actually people watching live television in the late '20's! This DVD will tell you all about it. Read more
