Communication was eventually in person, since there were no telephones, no newspapers or magazines, and very few books. People saw each other at church, or un the market-place; some elites sent there sons to a school to learn how to read and write, while daughters were taught at home. Much of the news about current events were delivered in person too.

Arround 1605 a Germen publisher named Johann Carolus printed and distributed the worlds first newspaper. The paper was called "Relation aller Furnemmen und gedenckwurdigen Historien." which translates to "Account of all distinguished and commemorable news" However, some may argue that the honor

By the 19th century, the world was ready to move on from the printed world. French inventor Joseph Nioephore niepce captured the worlds first photographic image in 1822. The early process he pioneered, called heliography, used a combination of various different substances and there reaction to sunlight to copy an image from an engraving.

The foundation for the invention of electric telegraphy was laid by inventors Joseph Henery and Edward Davy, In 1835, both had independently and successfully demonstrated electromagnetic relay, where a weak electrical signal can be amplified and transmitted across long distances.

The next hurdle to figure out was how to transmit sound to far off distances. The idea for a "Speaking Telegraph" was kicked around as early as 1843 when Italian inventor Innocenzo Manzetti began broadcasting the concept. And while he and others explored the notion of transmitting sound across distances, it was Alexander Ghram Bell who ultimately was granted the patent in 1876 for "Improvements in Telegraphy." which laid out the underlying technology for electromagnetic telephones.

Mobile phones arguably trace back to a Canadian engineer named Reginald Fessenden (1866–1932), who used radio sets for communicating weather reports in Maryland, back in the early 1900s, spawning the commercial "Fessenden Wireless Telegraph System," and eventually making possible things like emergency service telephones (in the 1920s) and taxi phones (around the 1940s).

Evolutionary algorithm is a term that describes the use of evolutionary models and methods in the design of computer programs, robots, and artificial life. Incorporating evolutionary strategies into computer programs was first proposed by Lawrence Fogel in the early 1960s. This work was significantly advanced by the invention of genetic algorithms by John Holland in 1975. Widespread interest in evolutionary computing, however, did not develop until the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The concept of sending short, quick messages was the first proposed by a man named Friedhelm Hillebrand in 1984. His idea that most sentences and questions fit within 160 characters lives on in todays 160-character text length and 140-character tweet length.
