Radio celebrates its 100-year birthday today. On December 24, 1906, a Canadian by the name of Reginald Fessenden (seen on left – photo courtesy of Wikipedia) made the world’s first radio voice broadcast from Marshfield, Massachusetts. Born in the province of Quebec, Reginald was able to transmit voice signals over the Atlantic without the use of wires or morse code.

The question is – will radio stay on to see another 100-years? It will, but in a different form. Although I won’t be around that long to see what radio will become, there’s no denying that we’re at the inflection point for radio right now.
