The catalysts and corrosions of The radio Military techno science

An example of a extremely critical techno-science in not only today’s military daily functions but almost all of the military functions past is the radio or radio waves/frequency. In its beginnings the radio was used for communications over long distances and then incorporated into everyday life when radios were first used by the media to broadcast information and entertainment. But the radio served a much bigger purpose other then letting people know who landed the last punch in the latest Mohammed Ali fight, it eventually became as important to the military as the nation wide road network was if not more. Because as the roads were built to serve as a way to decrease the transport time of military goods and vehicles the radio wave served as a way to decrease the amount of time it took to relay important military information over these same distances. Making things such as messenger birds and boys obsolete and exponential increasing tactical efficiency.

In essence the radio allowed for quicker communication and hence the exchange of critical information in shorter times, increasing military power and efficiency. It allowed for far more advanced on ground battle tactics by allowing soldiers to remain in contact even when they could no longer see each other (e.g. CRUCIAL in Vietnam jungle). It made recruiting in some of the mid 1900's war a lot easier through political propaganda and in essence fueled nationalism, Hitler him self said that the Nazi party would not of come together without the loud speaker because of how many people it allowed him to reach, but just imagine that same effect in terms of the radio that allowed him to reach so many people who might not of ever seen his face or heard of him or his ideas before.And finally it made other technologies possible such as the wireless UN-MANED fighter and scouter planes we use today, and the evolution of the radio lead to some of the technologies we consider essential to everyday life like cell phones and satellites, that Militaries everywhere take full advantage of everyday.

In contrast the construction of the Radio also aided in the down fall of the nations railroad system, because physical articles of mail or information became more an more useless. The radio also facilitated in, again political propaganda which might of benefited the government in terms of rallying or recruitment but it negatively effected the people as a whole because it made lying tothem a lot easier. The radio also as it evolved more into a everyday thing forced every family to purchase one, or risk the chance of not only missing this weeks latest Super detective story but also missing out on any possible bomb threats or weather inclinations such as tornadoes or floods. Finally Radios lead to Radio stations and radio stations need land lots of land not only to keep all their radio jockeys but to place there 3 story radio towers up to make broadcasting possible, that means something has to go in there place whether it be land on a nearby marsh or possible farmland or heavily habited forest. Leading to a whole monkey barrels worth of side effects and "back blow"
