Default Wardenclyffe Tower

Those of you familiar with Tesla, I am starting to think about him more. I wonder, would the Wardenclyffe Tower have been successful and led to a more advanced today if it were accepted? Would Tesla have put us further into the electronic age if he had been able to successfully do his work without the financial problems he faced?

Default Re: Wardenclyffe Tower

If he had been able to initially face the cost of his investors dropping, there's nothing to say that whatever companies that profitted off of existing telecommunications devices wouldn't have pounced on him and try to shut it down, luddites that people are when it comes to money. Furthermore, I generally think that in order for something to have an effect, even a technology, it must become popular, and even if it were to be built, unless it were marketed correctly, it may still have fizzled. I am not familiar with this thing at all except for what I perused on the wikipedia page though, and I know precious little about physics or how current technology works, so I can't really answer about the technological advances that may have happened from it. From a glance my first concern is that of it were to work, it could easily distorted/interrupted?
