Mass radio technology is also another technical advancement of World War 1. When the World War 1 started, the US army used the packet set as the communication apparatus. The packet set was a colossal gadget that occupied two wooden chests, and it would be carried by two male donkeys or horses. As the war went on smaller and lighter devices were invented. These devices had clear sound filtration and reception compared to the packet set. In 1880, the US launched an official radiophone that was accepted as a spectacular device for radio communication both in sea, land, and air. Most scientists say that the discovery of the radiophone was one of the remarkable achievements of World War 1. After the war, major companies like AT&T communications in the US started manufacturing better versions of radiophones with better valves and small receivers with powerful transmitters. This substantiates that World War 1 had a significant influence on the innovation of communication gadgets which have been modified to fit the present needs of the world.
World War 1 also led to the introduction of plastic surgery which is presently referred to as reconstructive surgery. During the war, many soldiers encountered gunshot wounds and facial damages which at times made the casualties lose crucial body parts. Led by surgeon Harold Gillies, medical practitioners

The cellucotton was inefficient for it would not act as a bandage. For this reason, the whip-nurses in Kotex innovated a sanitary napkin which would serve as a bandage and blood
