Abstract

[The history of discovery of electromagnetic waves and its impact on our life style is presented in the framework of its historical context. Discovery of the relevant equations by James Clerk Maxwell are first commented, and the subsequent applications discussed: wired transmission of electric power, cable transmission of messages via telegraph and telephone, up to wireless propagation over the ground and via satellites. More recent preliminary experiments of wireless power transmission are also noted. We conclude with a conjecture about possible additional impacts of Maxwell’s discovery on the organization of our society.]
