SOCIAL MEDIA MEGASITE

Submitted by Admin on

Social networks are more focused on creation and sharing content than in finding it. They also tend to highlight Web-centric communities. The debate over the Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect IP (Intellectual Property) Act also made this year's list, as Twitter was an important center of that debate.

ELECTRONIC MEDIA

The first radio transmission was successfully sent on Christmas Eve in 1906. Reginald Fessenden and his team broadcasted a Christmas concert to the united Fruit Company in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea; this caused Fessenden to be radio’s first voice. This broadcast foreshadowed the future of radio. Lee DeForest, Edwin Armstrong, Guglielmo Marconi, Nikola Tesla, David Sarnoff, and Fessenden were all considered to be the fathers of radio and radio as we know it now would not be the same without these men and many others.
