Amazing Evolution of Communication
Evoltuion of Communication History
Importance of Communication
Obviously we need to communicate in order to get stuff done right? So why is the history important in the first place? The reason is because it's how we got to where we're at now. From the phones we call and text on to the video chats on the computer, there was a base line to start this all. Before that we would have to draw in order to record information, then a spoken language, then a written language and then technology got involved to make everything easier. Most people couldn't even fathom how much time and work it took to get these basic understandings of reading, writing, and speaking. So much goes into communication and it's really simple until you think about it, we come a very long way from 30,000 BC and reading this information should hopefully help.
Smoke Signals
Basic communication that was used to talk to people of a distance that a voice didn't have power to reach, a very useful way of long distance communication.
Telegraph
The telegraph was a way of communication used by Morse Code and it would let people of much further distances know what's going on.
Mobile Phones
Technology has reached a point where we have a computer as a phone and can do way more than call, this amazing device is something that no one would have ever thought of 20 or 30 years ago.
