    Smoke signals, carrier pigeons, messages in bottles, telegrams, fax machines, and early cellphones were some of the earliest forms of visual or physical communication over long distances before the development of modern electronic communication like email. Key developments included Morse code for telegrams, Alexander Graham Bell's telephone patent in 1876, the first fax machine allowing documents to be sent worldwide in minutes, and Motorola's first cellphone weighing 4.4 lbs in 1973, culminating in email for digital messaging.
