Wireless radio became very popular during WWI as a source of news and entertainment. The invention of the wireless radio and newer smaller radios that were less expensive allowed more middle class families to own what was on a luxury item reserved for the wealthy. As radio became more popular, such as after WWI, it was able to be used as a propaganda tool for dictators like Hitler, who came to power a few years after WWI.
Radio gained widespread popularity in the 1920s due to several factors, including technological advancements that made radio receivers more affordable and accessible to the public. The establishment of commercial radio stations, such as KDKA in Pittsburgh, helped to create a new form of entertainment and information dissemination. Additionally, the post-World War I era saw a surge in consumerism and leisure time, leading to increased interest in home entertainment options like radio broadcasts. This combination of technology, accessibility, and cultural shifts contributed to the radio's rapid rise in popularity during the decade.
Radio and motion pictures greatly contributed to the rise of popular culture and also consumer culture, which had not existed previously.
