The invention of the radio harkened a new age. The technology uses radio waves which power radio instruments, and was originally called "wireless telegraphy." Originally developed in the 1880s, the first successful transatlantic radio broadcast was achieved by Guglielmo Marconi, who is commonly thought to be the inventor of the technology. Clearly, that's not exactly true, although the term "radio" came into use after his transmission across the Atlantic.
