Two hundred years of technology have transformed how we talk to each other, share our lives and learn about the world. On Saturday 25 October, the Science Museum in London opens Information Age: Six Networks That Changed Our World, a new permanent gallery of more than 800 objects that tell the story of the information revolution.
To mark the event, this week we are hosting five fantastic Science Museum videos that reveal some of the greatest breakthroughs in the communications era.
The second in our series, “The radio transmitter that changed our world”, tells the story of Arthur Burrows, 2LO and the arrival of British broadcasting.
