Radio Lab- War of the Worlds

Our assignment the other day was to listen to the War of the Worlds radio broadcasting. My reaction is that it is very surprising how they were able to accomplish all that going on and make it a believable situation. I can say that it was easy to do something like this in that time. As we talked in class about doing something similar to that, we came up with ideas but than again, I don't think it would be possible to achieve something like this in our day today, due to all the advance technology we have now. It's just interesting how people reacted to this back than and it was a serious deal for some people because it was so realistic. It was an interesting radio broadcasting and I enjoyed listening to it.
