Early forms of communication included cave drawings, storytelling, drums, and smoke signals which allowed early humans to convey messages over long distances before modern technology. As civilization advanced, pictograms and ideograms replaced cave drawings, and later alphabets replaced pictograms. Modern communication has evolved dramatically with new technologies like the telegraph, telephone, internet, and satellite networks allowing near instant communication globally. While modern communication connects people in powerful new ways, it also presents some disadvantages like reduced personal interaction.

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.
