On This Day | The Radio Bug

It is said that within a short period it will be possible to sit in front of one’s radio and see before one’s own eyes, the singer who is entertaining him in Los Angeles or New York. And why not? Don’t they transmit radio photographs thousands of miles. If this is possible, who’s to say that anything is impossible?

Why We Chose It
The world had quickly become technologically wonderous in 1926, and they were starting to imagine what was next. What did they come up with? Watching the radio. And how right they were. With all the video people are watching of other people talking on podcasts, all we can say is “Speak, soothsayer. We will listen. And watch!” 🙂
