So he decided to develop a clever radio that could work without electricity. 23 It could be used with the help of clockwork. Baylis introduced the clockwork radio on the BBC television program Tomorrow's World. The program was watched by millions of people. 24 The clockwork radio was a big success. It changed the lives of people in developing countries in the 1990s. Even in some small villages, people began to listen to the radio, not only for fun, but also to know the world. 25 Today, people don't use clockwork radio any more after the Internet appears, but it is still a good example of how creative thinking can change our world and improve people's lives.
