"My favourite invention is the radio because it allows me to listen to a wide variety of music wherever I am. Modern radios are now both small and inexpensive which allows me to have them all over the house. The modern-day radio is a great example of an invention that was not invented by one person but was developed by many individuals over a number of decades. "
