IFA: Between myth and show

The article discusses the history and evolution of the IFA (International Funkausstellung), now rebranded as 'Innovation Für Alle,' which has been showcasing technological innovations for over a century. It highlights key moments in the exhibition's history, including its founding in 1924 as the 'Große Deutsche Funk-Ausstellung' and its early focus on radio technology. The piece notes that while the IFA once served as a premier platform for introducing new technologies, this role has diminished in recent years. Historical milestones such as the introduction of the first television set by Manfred von Ardenne in 1931 and the debut of the first European car radio are mentioned, though these innovations were often large and expensive. The article also reflects on the challenges of keeping up with rapid technological changes and suggests a need for deeper exploration of historical contexts beyond current news.
