"The invention of radio has changed the world." (Treasury of English Grammar)
Is the use of radio itself correct? Is it necessary to add a THE before it? There is no context, just the sentence itself. I feel that using "THE radio" is more correct because it is more reasonable to refer to "a piece of electronic equipment used for listening to radio broadcasts" instead of "the system or work of broadcasting sound programs for the public to listen to". (From Cambridge Dictionary) Thanks!
