Santa Sends a Wireless Message of Christmas Cheer
"Santa sends you a message of Christmas cheer."
Santa Claus always stays up to date with the latest technology. Here he is in the early part of the twentieth century using wireless telegraphy (also called radiotelegraphy) to tap out a Morse code message on a telegraph key. The boy is using a crystal radio set to listen to the dots and dashes of Santa's message. Judging by the smile on the kid's face, I'll bet that he found out that he's on Santa's Nice List.
Santa has also been an early adopter of other communication and transportation technologies, including telephones, typewriters, airships, biplanes, and other kinds of airplanes.
