  1. Brief History of Communication Technology TGJ20 Mr. Briggs

  2. Examples of Early Communication Technology:

  3. Communication can be defined as the transmission of sound, written symbols (written language), and images.  Today's instantaneous communication is made possible only because of the types of devices we use and the network systems that are in place to carry this information

  4. Earliest? • People have always communicated and one of the first methods fire.  It provided a focal point so that early people could gather together, feel safe, and share stories.  Later it was used as a means of signaling other groups over relatively long distances.

  5. The invention of the wheel has also improved how people communicate. It allowed people to carry messages more quickly over longer distances .
