Radio

Marconi sends telegraph signals through the air, with no wire at all.

Following Hertz's 1887 demonstration of electromagnetic waves, Guglielmo Marconi built a practical wireless telegraph in 1895 and signalled across the Atlantic in 1901. Radio made ship-to-shore communication possible and later carried voice, music and navigation signals everywhere.
