in 1895 when Guglielmo Marconi created the radio. When first discovered, the radio system in 1895 was very basic as it only utilized one spectrum of radio waves called the AM band.

Six Major Obstacles to Effective Business Communication The class book insists, "To avoid obstacles to communication we should avoid clichés, jargon, slang, sexist and racist language, euphemisms, and doublespeak" (Business Communication, 2012, p. 63). Let us define each of them and see how they can serve us a bad service and, maybe we will find them useful in rare circumstances. The first obstacle to communication is Clichés.
