Internet Radio

Internet Radio, what does it mean to you.

When Marconi invented the radio, I am sure he had no idea how much of an
impart he we going to make.  All of a sudden the world had a new communications tool
and the world began to shrink. All of a sudden events that were taking
place in other parts of the would was now international news.

Before the advent of satellites circling the earth to carry radio signal far and wide,
the radio was limited to small areas because of the massive towers needed
to get that signal as far as possible.

Eventually the internet was born and the whole world shrank yet again and communication
was at hand for anyone with an internet connection. However it was not
until broadband started to rule the internet that internet radio came
into its own. Now we can hear motivational speakers,  live internet
radio stations  etc at the push of a button.

However what does this mean to you, for a long time the internet was basically text and graphics.
We were all tied down to sitting and reading stopping us from doing
other things. Now that internet radio is becoming a huge medium, you can
now tune in to one and still carry on working while you are listening.

There are many thousands on radio stations now online covering almost every subject
or genre of music.  It is a no brainer now, every one with a broadband
connection can tune in and get the very lastest information on any
subject.

Yes I am very sure Marconi never knew what he had invented and what is did for the world.
