Well, the current use of the word 'wireless' is far different than a century ago and perhaps the writer did want to confuse today's readers.

Most if these click bait articles display an incredible lack of technical knowledge and usually, poor writing skills.  Just read one about the proposed recovery of the Titanic!s Marconi wireless equipment.  Throughout the article, it was referred to as a “telegraph machine”, the words radio or wireless never were mentioned.
