BEFORE THE INVENTION
First communications were documented in 1200 B.C. where Homer speaks about fire signals and smoke signals in Iliad. In 700 to 300 B.C. there was a usage of postal pigeons in the Olympic Games. History also documents that in 200 B.C. until 100 B.C. messengers on horse or on foot were a common phenomenon in Egypt and China, where there were even stations for supplying them.
The Chinese 2000 years before are estimated to have had a system of sending messages through pipes at the Great Wall or two paper cones that were connected with rope.
In 37 B.C. we have the first documented usage of mirrors from the Roman Emperor Tiberius of sending messages. As we move on, in 11 B.C. the Romans create postal services. The need for something faster than postmen drove to the creation of a system of communication through fire. The transition of the message was happening with fire transponders from mountain top to mountain top. For thousands of years people have communicated nonverbally, or without speaking. The smoke signals which could be seen at great distance were used to send messages such as warnings about enemies approaching. (Erinn Banting, p.10, 2006)

He was a brilliant Scottish inventor and mechanic that is considered to be responsible for the invention and creation of the first practical telephone device. He was a teacher at Boston’s university in charge of teaching the speech of deaf by creating a code of speech with hand lips and tongue movements. Graham Bell gave knowledge and inspiration to a young scientist Thomas Watson to explore and experiment on sequences that transmitted sound with the help of electricity. Bell hit a breakthrough with his harmonic telegraph. While experimenting, Bell realized he could hear a sound over a wire. The “sound” was a twanging clock spring.
