“The Titanic did actually lead to standards in radio communication.
The Titanic had been warned via radio of icebergs, but told the other radio operators to shut up. Being that there were no standards at the time, the radio operators aboard the Californian turned off their radios and went to sleep, missing all the distress signals from the Titanic.
As a result, radios must be left on, and a radio operator must be available.”
