COMMUNICATION

EARLY AND MODERN COMMUNICATION


COMMUNICATION
 Communication is a vital part of human interaction. It is the art of
effectively exchanging thoughts, messages or information between
two or more people, and because it is so vital to human existence, it
has evolved and expanded over the years. At first, communication
was limited. Speech, behavior, special signals and writing were the
main forms of information relay and long distance communication
required physical effort and time. With the invention of the telegraph,
a new era in communications arose, which saw the birth of the
telephone, satellite, and internet networks, among many others. The
history of communications from around the world is long and rich,
and shows the human capability for ingenuity and creativity.
THE CHANGE IN COMMUNICATION
EARLY
COMMUNICATION
 Cave drawings were murals that people painted onto the
walls of caves and canyons to tell the story of their culture. 
They would tell stories of battles, hunts and culture.
 Storytelling was used to tell stories, both fiction and
nonfiction, before there were books.  It was a way for
families and communities to pass on information about
their past.
 Drums were one way to send signals to
neighboring tribes and groups.  The sound of the drumming
patterns would tell them of concerns and events they
needed to know
 Smoke signals were another way to send messages to
people who were not close enough to use words with. 
 The oldest known symbols created with the purpose
of communication through time are the
cave paintings, a form of rock art, dating to the
Upper Paleolithic. Just as the small child first learns
to draw before it masters more complex forms of
communication, so homo sapiens' first attempts at
passing information through time took the form of
paintings
 AS TIME WHEN BY PICTOGRAMS AND IDEOGRAMS
CAME AND ITS LATER REPLACE BY ALPHABETS.
MODERN
COMMUNICATION
 Modern Technology changed people's lifestyle and the way
they live. For example, now it's possible to surf Internet on
TV, watch programs, pause Live TV, and even playback live
shows. Internet surfing is a technology revolution. Because
of that technology, a person could know what is happening
on the other side of the world, chat with others about
different matters and even talk using Instant Messaging
Services.
