This document provides an overview of the evolution of radio. It discusses how radio works by transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves, and how these waves are converted into sounds that humans can hear. The document then outlines some of the major developments in radio, including the first radiotelegraph services between Hawaiian islands in 1901 and the establishment of the Radio Corporation of America in 1919 to distribute radio patents. The overall goal of the unit is to understand the concept and history of radio and its importance for human communication.

In 1919, after the
government released
its control of all patents,

America (RCA) was
established with the
purpose of distributing
control of the radio
patents that had been
restricted during the war
