The Use Of The Radio During World War One
Another reason on how technology benefits America was when we used the radio during World War One. In World War One the radio had many uses for the war and was one of the key factors on the story of events which occurred during war. In war the Navy was able to use Morse Code to send troops to the Atlantic Ocean to prepare for battle. Furthermore, during the war radio played an important factor because with the use of the radio the Air Force was able to communicate with the President in order to change positions in the air when they were needed to.

    In previous research on the functions of the radio and the impact it had on society, radio was a very prominent and useful medium in relaying information, telling stories, and regulating moods.

During their studies, Bryant and Oliver (2009) and Herzog (1944) both looked at why people gravitated toward radio, but what may have been an important relied upon medium then is no longer the case in the 21st century. While there is an overlap on how people nowadays utilize the radio and back then, society depends less on the radio for news or information than the television or Internet.…
