have advanced from ancient times to nowadays. In the past, science was
taught through recitation method where learners memorized the machines
without seeing them. But now, technology has led to the invention of
laboratory, observation method, and fieldwork method with adequate
laboratory facilities where science students can now observe the machines. In
the past, the types of communication technology devices have evolved from
smoke signals and carrier pigeons to letters and telegrams. Today,
communication worldwide is at the tip of the finger and is factual.
