How Did Tesla's Effect On Communication
A. Human’s ability to use language to communicate with one another sets them apart from other species.
a. While human species were able to communicate with one another long before the evolution of homo sapiens, the establishment of the first writing systems is the foundation for the modern-communication age.
B. The current-technological age in western culture has brought on a style of communication that is instantaneous, easily accessible, and commonplace.
C. However, the use of mobile devices and computers as a means of communication was sparked by the growth of communication inventions in the nineteenth and mid-twentieth century.

The Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi is commonly credited as the Father of the Radio as he was the one who brought the parts together and promoted wireless telegraphy (Regal).
3. However, Nicola Tesla was a major contributor to the invention of the radio transmitter (Regal).
a. He developed the “Tesla Coil” which was the beginning of the type of high-voltage alternator needed for continuous-wave radio communication (Regal).
b. In St. Louis in 1895, Tesla demonstrated the principles of wireless communication for the first time when he transmitted vibrations with a transmitter and receiver (Regal).
c. Tesla, may have built a form of the radio prior to Marconi but his laboratory was destroyed by fire in 1893 (Regal).
B. Original uses of radio and culture
1. Early uses for the radio were for sending messages between ships and land.
a. For centuries, signaling at sea was non-linguistic and limited to visual range with distress being communicated by burning a fire on deck, firing a cannon, or signal flags (Johnson).
b. The invention of wireless messages transformed signaling between ships and land via the radio revolutionized how seamen were able to communicate distress
