Guglielmo Marconi was an inventor and engineer, best known for developing, marketing, and demonstrating the first wireless telegraph system. Guglielmo Marconi made quite remarkable advancements that impact us to this day. His inventions and discoveries helped to create the radio, television, and radar of today. Marconi believed that communication among people was possible through a wireless radio signal. His determination in this field brought about his greatest successes. As a result he is called the “Father of Radio.” He was born in Bologna, Italy on April 25, 1874. He was the second son of a wealthy landowner named Giuseppe Marconi and a woman named Anne Jameson.

His assignment was to give up to the minute reports of America’s Cup Yacht race. While being held off the coast of New York, from the deck of an observation yacht Marconi used his wireless telegraph to report the progress of the race to a wireless operator at the New York Herald. As each update reached the newsroom, the editors awe intensified. Never in history had an event been recorded in such a manner. The next issue of the Herald proclaimed “Marconi’s Wireless Telegraph Triumph .” As a result the world’s communication system was changed forever. For Marconi, fame meant more experimentation and continued success. During the early 1900’s Marconi formed the American Marconi Company, as well as The Marconi International Marine Company Ltd. For Marconi the quest of invention was never ending. In 1913 he introduced innovations that made radio wave reception and transmission exceedingly efficient. He also sent the first radio message from England to Australia in
