Communications Through the Ages and Into the Next Century
Communication is the ability to share
information.
We need communication. Communication keeps businesses
and factories running.
It helps people in trouble to contact police, fire
departments, ambulances and doctors.
Our military forces would be useless, and our government
would not work without it.
Transportation and food supplies would not meet the
needs of the people.
We would loose contact with our families and friends
that live far away.
There would be no radio or television stations to
entertain us, or movies to see.
Society would surely not be the same as it is now.
Maybe someday, we will have telephones like wrist
watches...
or, televisions with only interactive 3D programming...
or, we will have a mental connection with things so
all we have to do is think, and it is done...
or, computers will be able to visually connect with
anyone in the world, without cameras...
Only the future will tell...
after all, 100's of years ago no one would have dreamed
of all the things we have today.
