A rádio também foi pensada como uma rede?

«As Susan Douglas says: 'The ether was an exciting new frontier in which men and boys could congregate, compete, test their mettle, and be privy to a range of new information. Social order and social control were defied' (Douglas, 1987: 214). After the first world war a new 'wireless mania' appeared. This time it concerned wireless telephony, soon to become radio broadcasting. This new device was also to create a new community feeling. The author of an article headed 'The Social Destiny of Radio' wrote: 'How fine is the texture of the web that radio is even now spinning! It is achieving the task of making us feel together, think together, live together' (Douglas, 1987: 306).» (Flichy, 2006: 192)
