Walter Cronkite Narrates Guglielmo Marconi Documentary

In 1914 Guglielmo Marconi built a wireless station in Chatham Cape Cod that would go on to become the busiest ship to shore station in the Northern Hemisphere. With this he took the initial flash of genius with the first transatlantic transmittion and created the business of wireless communication that is at the heart of today's radio, cell phones, and satellite transmissions. A Mooncusser Film narrated by Walter Cronkite, produced by Barbara Cotnam, directed and edited by Christopher Seufert. See more project samples at www.MooncusserFilms.com

We are at a time in history 100 years down the track where the excitement of Henry Ford and his Motor Car, Alexander Graham Bell, Guglielmo Marconi, Thomas Edison and his wonderful inventions & others that paved the development of the 20th Century has been reinstalled into the hearts and minds of those engaged in the development of technology passing into the 21st Century.

one thing is certain regarding this video, its been five years since this had been posted and although it lacks real facts as to how the advancement of wireless communication was acquired/achieved and focuses attention on the icon making of guglielmo marconi and the use of form for military function a person might wonder why only 14,628 views, typically a inventions would have been copyrited to prevent any further investigation of anyone to explore the mysteries of electricity that being written

i though Nikolo Tesla invented radio

[@JohnMGilbert]

Hey JusP, Edison invented the lightbulb in 1879. Tesla didn't come to the US untill 1884. Edison had never heard of Tesla until Tesla walked into Edison's office with a letter of introduction. The bulb had been glowing for 5 years at this point. How did Edison steal it from Tesla? Might want to get your facts straight before you go accusing.

@TheZorroStudio Tesla is just the most overrated man in the history of science!!
AC motor had already been invented by Galileo Ferraris, his wireless transmission just a rough capacitive coupling, he had no relationship with phone invention....try to study before to say bullshit!!! Radio has many fathers but Marconi was the only one acheive succesful radio transmission. He is the true father of radio!!
