The Industrial Age began around 1760 in Great Britain and was characterized by the replacement of hand tools with power-driven machines. This ushered in massive technological changes like the printing press, which allowed for mass production of newspapers and the dissemination of information. Other key developments included the telegraph, telephone, motion pictures, and early broadcasting technologies like radio. These innovations transformed communication and helped advance society into the new Industrial Age.

James Clerk Maxwell (1873) - Experimented with the electromagnetic waves or radio waves. Heinrich Hertz (1887) - Demonstrated the first transmission of radio waves. Edouard Branly and Oliver Lodge - Respectively worked on improving radio wave frequency transmissions of both the transmitter and receiver technologies. Guglielmo Marconi (1894) - Taken up and improved Branly and Lodge’s innovation, he was the first person to recognize the commercial viability of the radio system. Philo Farnsworth – holds the credit of making the first television transmittal of picture in 1927. In 1934 he made the public demonstration of the early prototype of the television.
