Marconi turns 100

The first ever 54 word message, sent from the President of the US to the King of England, was sent 100 years ago today.

The pocket PC I'm writing this on is at least in part based on that same technology from so long ago, as it includes a wireless internet connection.

Every crew member on the Titanic, even the bellboys, were older than the technology that made the rescue possible.
