Smoke signals
one of the oldest forms of long-distance communication. In general smoke signals are used to transmit news, signal danger, or to gather people to a common area. Some cultures use this method for communication like
Native Americans
Aboriginal Australians -
310 BCE
Message in a bottle
created by the Greek philosopher Theophrastus while he studied the water properties is a form of communication in which a message is sealed in a container (typically a bottle) and released into a conveyance medium (typically a body of water). later
In the 16th century it was common practice in the military to send information by dropping bottles into the sea.
Example
The English Navy for example used bottle messages to send ashore information about enemy positions. -

Pigeon messengers
its ability to find its way home over extremely long distances. Because of this skill, homing pigeons were used to carry messages. Until the introduction of telephones, they were used commercially to deliver communication. In the 5th century BC the first network of pigeon messengers is thought to have been established in Assyria and Persia in World War II, homing pigeons with the Confidential Pigeon Service were airdropped into northwest Europe to serve as intelligence vectors -
Optical telegraph
Telegraphy is the long-distance transmission of messages where the sender uses symbolic codes, known to the recipient, rather than a physical exchange of an object bearing the message Early proposals for an optical telegraph system were made to the Royal Society by Robert Hooke is a telegraph consisting of a line of stations in towers or natural high points which signal to each other by means of shutters or paddles. -
Electrical telegraph
is a point-to-point text messaging system, primarily used from the 1840s until the late 20th century. It was the first electrical telecommunications system and the most widely used of a number of early messaging systems called telegraphs, The offices were connected by wires, usually supported overhead on utility poles. -
the others telegraphs
exist a lot of different types of telegraphs but they are not a truly revolution (for the messaging) example: Railway telegraphy It was used to manage railway traffic and to prevent accidents Heliograph:The idea for a telegraph of this type was first proposed as a modification of surveying equipment Telex: was a public switched network of teleprinters. It used rotary-telephone-style pulse dialling for automatic routing through the network -
Oceanic telegraph cables
were undersea cables running under the Atlantic Ocean for telegraph communications. In the 1870s, duplex and quadruplex transmission and receiving systems were set up that could relay multiple messages over the cable. Before the first transatlantic cable, communications between Europe and the Americas had occurred only by ship and could be delayed for weeks by severe winter storms. By contrast, the transatlantic cable made possible a message and response on the same day. -
Pony express!!!!!
(the better of all times)
The Pony Express was an American express mail service that used relays of horse-mounted riders between Missouri and California. It was operated by the Central Overland California and Pikes Peak Express Company. the Pony Express reduced time for messages to travel from coast to coast to just 10 days. It was a vital system for sending notes east to west prior to the birth of the telegraph. Most notably, it helped tie the new state of California to the rest of America. -
Balloon mail
Historically, balloons were used to transport mail from Paris during the Siege of Paris of 1870–1871. About 66 unguided mail balloons were released from Paris to communicate with the outside world; the great majority succeeded in delivering their cargo. Balloon mail has been used for spreading information and propaganda materials, in particular for spreading propaganda to the population in countries with dictatorial governments. -
Teleprinter
is an electromechanical device that can be used to send and receive typed messages through various communications channels With the development of early computers in the 1950s,teleprinters were adapted to allow typed data to be sent to a computer, and responses printed. Some teleprinter models could also be used to create punched tape for data storage Teleprinters have largely been replaced by fully electronic computer terminals -
Wireless telegraphy
he late 1880s through to the 1890s saw the discovery and then development of a newly understood phenomenon into a form of wireless telegraphy At the end of 1894, the young Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi began working on the idea of building a commercial wireless telegraphy system based on the use of Hertzian waves (radio waves) March 1897, Marconi had transmitted Morse code signals over a distance of about 6 km across Salisbury Plain. -
pagers
is a wireless telecommunications device that receives and displays alphanumeric or voice messages. One-way pagers can only receive messages, while response pagers and two-way pagers can also acknowledge, reply to, and originate messages using an internal transmitter. -
pagers 2
The first pager-like system was put into use by the Detroit Police Department in 1921. However, it was not until 1949 that the very first telephone pager was patented. the pager was not a consumer device available to everyone. In fact, the Federal Communications Commission did not approve the pager for public use until 1958. The technology was for many years reserved strictly for critical communications between emergency responders like police officers, firefighters, and medical professionals. -
Fax Machines
is the telephonic transmission of scanned printed material (both text and images), normally to a telephone number connected to a printer or other output device. The original document is scanned with a fax machine, which processes the contents as a single fixed graphic image, converting it into a bitmap, and then transmitting it through the telephone system in the form of audio-frequency tones. The receiving fax machine interprets the tones and reconstructs the image, printing a paper copy -
The email
Most people give Ray Tomlinson the title of email’s inventor. He came up with the idea while working for ARPANET, the government-funded research project that eventually became the internet. At the time, you could only leave messages for people using the same computer. Tomlinson created a program that gave users the ability to send messages between connected computers on the ARPANET system. -
Cellphones
is a portable telephone that can make and receive calls over a radio frequency link while the user is moving within a telephone service area, as opposed to a fixed-location phone The first handheld mobile phone was demonstrated by Martin Cooper of Motorola in New York City on 3 April 1973, using a handset weighing c. 2 kilograms (4.4 lbs). -
chat groups
The launch of IRC pushed the adoption of online chat much further. Internet Relay Chat – along with email – is one of the few Internet communication apps from before 1990 that remain in use today. -
Online Chat In The 1990s
In the 1990s, web browsers became popular, bringing millions of people online. However, many people still had slower connection speeds, so text chat was the perfect solution. Chat messages are easy to transmit, which allows near real-time conversations. AOL Chat Rooms and AOL Messenger
MSN Messenger
ICQ -
2000
the most important part in this section is the development of the wadgets before talked, the evolution of the cellphones help us for the creation for a lot of apps for texting and share media. for ends, maybe the most new thing in the age is the use of chatbots
