Communications

1. Communications The most important inventions of all times.

2. Communication: Hieroglyphs Egyptian hieroglyphs were a formal writing system used by the ancient Egyptians that combined logographic and alphabetic elements. Egyptians used cursive hieroglyphs for religious literature on papyrus and wood for communication.Hieroglyphs emerged from the traditions of Egypt. Introduced in 4000 BCE. For many years the earliest known hieroglyphic inscription was the NarmerPaletteinthe 1890s and was dated to 3200 BCE.

3. Communication: Smoke signals • The smoke signal is one of the oldest forms of long-distance communication. It is a form of visual communication used over long distance.Smoke signals were introduced in 1785. More complex versions were introduced in 150 BCE. • Native Americans used a type of communication called smoke signals. In this form of communication, puffs or columns of smoke were sent into the air in many different ways, signaling different things.

4. Communication: pigeon post • Pigeon post is the use of homing pigeons to carry messages. Pigeons were effective as messengers due to their natural homing abilities. The pigeons were transported to a destination in cages, where they would be attached with messages, then naturally the pigeon would fly back to its home where the owner could read his mail. The Romans and the Greeks used pigeon messengers to aid their military over 2000 years ago.Pigeon Post was introduced in 1620–1690. It was used in 1870-71, and was also used in the 19th century.

5. Communication: semaphore telegraph • A semaphore telegraph system of conveying information by means of visual signals, using towers with pivoting shutters, also known as blades or paddles.These systems were popular in the late 18th to early 19th century. Modern design of semaphores was first foreseen by the English scientist Robert Hooke, who first gave a vivid and comprehensive outline of visual telegraphy to the Royal Society in a submission dated in 1684.The semaphore telegraph was used to send distance messages.

6. Communication: Telephone The Telephone, colloquiallyreferred to as a phone, is a telecommunications device that transmits and receives sounds. Telephones are a point-to-point communication system whose most basic function is to allow two people separated by large distances to talk to each other. . Developed in the mid-1870s by Alexander Graham Bell and others, the telephone has long been considered indispensable to businesses, households and governments, is now one of the most common appliances in the developed world.

7. Communication: photophone • The photophone (also known as a radiophone) is a telecommunications device which allowed for the transmission of both articulated sounds and normal human conversations on a beam of light. • It was invented jointly by Alexander Graham Bell and his assistant Charles Sumner Tainter on February 19, 1880, at Bell's laboratory at 1325 L Street in Washington, D.C

8. Communication: wireless radio The etymology of "radio" or "radiotelegraphy" reveals that it was called "wireless telegraphy” which was used for people to communicate through broadcasts. It was adopted by the United States Navy in 1912, to distinguish radio from several other "wireless" communication technologies in use at the time. The term became common by the time of the first commercial broadcasts in the United States in the 1920s.

9. Communication: Television Television(TV) is a telecommunication medium for transmitting and receiving moving images that can be monochrome (black-and-white) or colored, with or without accompanying sound.Commercially introduced in the late 1920s, the television set has become commonplace in homes, businesses and institutions, particularly as a vehicle for advertising, a source of entertainment, and news.Invented byJohnLogie Baird

10. Communication: Videotelephony Videotelephony comprises the technologies for the reception and transmission of audio-video signals by users at different locations, for communication between people in real-time. A videophone is a telephone with a video display.Introduced in 1876. Entered into general use after 1950.Invented by Alexander Graham Bell

11. Communication: Computer network • A computer networkis a collection of computers and other hardware components interconnected by communication channels that allow sharing of resources and information. Where at least one process in one device is able to send/receive data to/from at least one process.In 1837 Charles Babbage proposed the first general mechanical computer.

12. Communication: Cell phone • A mobile phone (also known as a cellular phone, cell phone and a hand phone) is a device that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link whilst moving around a wide geographic area. In addition to telephony, modern mobile phones also support a wide variety of other services such as text messaging, MMS, email, Internet access, short-range wireless communications (infrared, Bluetooth), business applications, gaming and photography.The first hand-held mobile phone was demonstrated by Dr Martin Cooper of Motorola in 1973.

13. Communication: Email e-mail, is a method of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients. Modern email operates across the Internet or other computer networks. It was an important communication technology because it allowed people to communicate with each other all across the world.Standards for encoding email messages were proposed as early as 1973. E-mail was invented by Ray Tomlinson

14. Communication: satellite • A satellite A communications satellite (or COMSAT) is an artificial satellite sent to space for the purpose of telecommunications. They are also used for mobile applications such as communications to ships, vehicles, planes and hand-held terminals, and for TV and radio broadcasting. • Russia is credited with the first man-made satellite. "Sputnik," a 183-pound, 22-inch sphere, was launched on October 4, 1957. Sputnik was not invented by any one person but was the result of a long collaboration of Russian scientists.

15. Communication: Pictograms A pictogram (pictograph) is a symbol presenting a concept, object, activity, place or event by illustration. Pictography is a form of proto-writing whereby ideas are transmitted through drawing. Pictographs were the next step in the evolution of communication.Pictograms were used by various ancient cultures all over the world since around 9000 BC.Invented by PieraAulagnier

16. Communication: Microwave Microwave energy was used to heat/cook food.The microwave was discovered by Percy LeBaronThe first microwave technology developed during the war. Named the "Radarange", it was first sold in 1947.

17. Communication: Photography Photography is the art, science and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film, or electronically by means of an image sensor.In 1826, the first picture ever taken Joseph Nicéphore

18. Communication: social media Social media technologies take on many different forms including magazines, Internet forums, weblogs, social blogs, microblogging, wikis, social networks, podcasts, photographs or pictures, video, rating and social bookmarking. Social media network websites include sites like Facebook, Twitter, Bebo and MySpace.

19. Communication: Paper People around the world use paper to communicate their ideas from one destination to another. Paper was invented by the Chinese by 105 AD. It spread slowly to the west via Samarkand and Baghdad. Papermaking and manufacturing in Europe started in the Iberian Peninsula. Paper was invented by Tsailun.

20. Communication:Video game console A video game console is an interactive entertainment computer or customized computer system that produces a video display signal which can be used with a display to display a video game. The term "video game console" is used to distinguish a machine designed for people to buy and use primarily for playing video games on a TV. was not until 1972 that Magnavox released the first home video game console The video game console was designed by Ralph Baer

21. Communication: The first printed book The first printed book on a printing press using movable type was the Gutenbug Bible. Printed by Johannes Gutanburg in Germany. Created in1450
