Communication

Communication, the key to a successful

relationship, differentiates us from animals and
it improves over time.

How Do We Get From Signals to Telephone?

Communication is one of the reasons for the many
things that distinguish us from animals. Smoke
signals, a visual communication used to get
attention, are the first ever recorded long-distance
communication. Historical evidence led us to the fact
that the first smoke signals were used in China in
200BC. Later, a new communication method,
pigeons, were used. Pigeons have this natural homing
ability that makes them effective as a messenger. A
familiar communication method, pony express, was
used back in the day. Just like mailing but instead of Face to face communication, done in real time

cell phones were launched (in 1980). In the race to
improve technologies, we have forgotten the basics
of social etiquette and real human closeness.
Technologies have made communication so much
faster. But it widened the gap between the young and
the old. Social media are new doors to
communication. People are too busy, with their
