Radio technology

During the Great Depression radio prices drooped from $139 to only $47 in a span of four years. In the 30s people would invite their friends over just to listen to the radio like people invite friends over to watch TV now. Radios in the 1930s were only able to receive morse code and no any real voices or music. Even when speech through radios became possible morse code was still used until the 1990s. In the 1930s radios were 4 feet tall and the only large differences with radios today is that they only transmitter morse code. Now radios are portable and sound much clearer.
