1-3)The development of new types of media such as the Internet is a process often surrounded and enveloped by exciting events that go far beyond the new medium itself. Radio is an outstanding example of this phenomenon; while the building of this new medium would have provided enough excitement in and of itself, the accompanying social and economic times ensured it would be a time to remember throughout history. At the pinnacle of the evolution of radio as a new medium, the Great Depression occurred in the United States. This history shows that the development of radio was not disconnected from the social, political, and economic events; radio became part of the system that soon allowed millions to become involved in stock market trading with up-to-the-minute reports on stock movements.
