How do the people communicate in the past?

Carrier Pigeons

3000 BCE

These small animals were used as means of communication, although at one time they were seen and even treated as pests, until we discovered that they had kindness problems and difficulties in using them effectively. They were also sent specific news: the white was good news and the gray or mottled were bad news. These little friends were also used by royalty.

Sings with Fire

150 BCE

It was easy for people living in mountains or islands to use this method of communication: they lit a large fire in a clear place to get the attention of other people and thus be able to send a simple but effective message. We hope this article has served you on how people communicated before. Today there is a wide range of services to talk with someone, from high-end cell phones to cheap laptops, so there are no excuses to communicate effectively. But do you imagine before?

Send letters

1848

With this great development of technology, many people will remain virtually unemployed, as companies that distribute mail worldwide disappeared or had to have the new concept of communication. Already today sending letters is not an option, those letters to ask for the family, those love letters to your partner were lost and were exchanged for text messages or images sent by Whatsapp or Instagram. That magic was lost.

Public Call

1860

Although it is still maintained in some locations around the world, the public telephone has ceased to be used as before because access to a cell phone is now very common.

Telegram

1884

The oldest method used and that is the closest thing to a current text message, only with a slightly slower and more expensive delivery. This form of communication was one of the first that was used in World War II.

Message in Bottles

1906

This method was used by coastal populations that benefited from the tide to send messages. Although they were slow to arrive, it was an effective communication method before cell phones appeared.

Beeper

1921

This device had short alphanumeric messages and was mostly used by people who worked in professions such as police officers, doctors or teachers.
