Years ago with the invention of the now-nearly-obsolete cassette tape, the radio industry worried that this new invention would mean the death of their industry that had existed for nearly 60 years. Of course, many of us remember watching as the radio industry found ways to adapt to new emerging technologies. As we can tell by turning on the radio today, the industry actually outlasted the item that once threatened its very existence. Part of the reason for this success was the radio industry's willingness to adapt, take small market-based steps to approach the challenge, and work with consumers to eventually meet a larger goal of preserving the industry.
WHEN good and evil coexist in close quarters, they create the potential for some intense drama. Erik Larson takes advantage of this tension in "Thunderstruck." The book, set between 1900 and 1910, tells two true stories: how wireless communication was introduced to the world by the Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi, and how that technology fed the public's hunger for information about a sensational murder. At the book's climax, the parallel story lines are brought together in a meaningful way.
Bill Ruehlmann is a journalismcommunications professor at Virginia Wesleyan College. PERHAPS IT WAS the invention of the microphone that pioneered the concept. Talk radio and cable commentary confirm it. And the space- age, show-biz, simulcast "town meeting" celebrates it.
BOSS RADIO'S BOSS: One of our favorite recollections of growing up in the '60s was how the soundtrack of our generation was played live and loud in real time, practically everywhere we went. The invention of the transistor radio brought the pop and rock sounds of KRLA, KFWB and KHJ to the beaches and public pools and parks during those days, when the air was full of "Surfer Girl," "All You Need Is Love" and "Satisfaction," all played at full volume for everyone to hear in those years before Walkmans and iPods brought the sounds out of the air and straight into the listener's head.
It didn't start with Twitter or Facebook. No, Christian churches have long had a love-affair with technology, according to Clayton Crockett, associate professor and director of religious studies at the University of Central Arkansas. Just open your history books. Recent examples include the Protestant Reformation, which was aided by the invention of the printing press. Evangelicals and Pentecostals used the radio to spread their message.
Michael Chaplin, an eighth-grader at Wells Junior High School, won the local round of the annual Modern Woodmen Civic Oration Contest. His winning entry was a short speech on the discovery of radio waves and the invention of radio.

Before the invention of the television, many families spent time huddled around the radio to listen to their favorite shows. One of those shows, Straight Arrow, aired in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
FIRST, let's get one thing straight. Contrary to the suggestions sometimes heard on conservative talk radio, the terrible headlines out of Iraq aren't an invention of liberal news media. They all too accurately reflect the grim reality. Since the bombing of Samarra's mosque in February, at least 20,000 Iraqis have died violently and more than 230,000 have been displaced from their homes.
What is this! Sitting on the freeway for three hours? Most cars and trucks have a reverse. With a little bit of direction, the 2600 South exit and Centerville exit or the 500 South exit could have been used to clear the freeway onto Highway 89 and Redwood Road and skirt the demolition derby until it could be sent to the junkyard. I feel sorry for the injured. But with a little planning and use of the new invention -- the radio -- traffic might have been sent on its way. Robert L. Carling
