The first experiments with the light bulb changed society because it opened a whole new perspective for scientists to improve the invention and make artificial light available to everyone. -
RADIO
During the 1860s, James Clerk Maxwell predicted the existence of radio waves and in 1902, they became reality. An Italian inventor, Guglielmo Marconi invented radio communication by sending the first radio signal early February in Italy.
