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, hundreds of years ago
no one would have dreamed of all the things we have today.
