Telecommunicating

Telecommunication is the word used to describe the process in which people communicate with others via new technology. It is the transmission of messages carried over large distances to perform a communication between two ends. These technologies have evolved tremendously across the years or should I say centuries around the whole world starting from the ancient times.

If we describe the sequence in which such technologies arrived, we would come up with the following: Ancient times Smoke Signals can send pre-determine signals across many miles of visibility and the Drums, which would use pre-determine sounds to notify tribe members in Africa in near locations. Later in the 1700s Claude Chappe, a French engineer built the first semaphore. It involved pulleys rotating beams of wood. Though it was a bit more efficient than drums and smoke signals, the Semaphore only allowed up to nineteen miles of frequency, if so. We later experienced the electrical telegraphy. This would send electrical current by the sender through many wires and the output was letters and symbols. This technology was touched in the hands of many scientists in the 1800s that would later perfect the commonly used telegraph. The telegraph would allow many nearby countries to communicate and it was later available for transatlantic transmissions. This technology impressed the scientist Alexander Graham Bell, who in 1876 invented the telephone on the principles of the telegraph. The phone as we know it today can transmit voice signals to anywhere in the world. But during that same time another phenomenon was about to be released but it was never perfected up to 1900 when the Radio was able to send wireless telegraph messages to other devices. Soon after the Radio, around the 1920s the television was invented by Scottish scientist John Logie Baird which demonstrated he was able to send moving pictures.
