Humans have constantly been improving what they have already got. To achieve a more perfect version, they go through a number of eras or epochs where they try out different versions. Pablo Picasso, a Spanish painter in the 20th century, went through different periods where he drew in a specific colour to see how it affected the painting. He started off with the Blue Period, where he drew mostly blue colours (Pablo Picasso, 2015). This he used for a few years, until he switched to the Rose Period, when he painted in reddish colours. This is an example of how humans change their behaviour and their activities over time. From the Medieval Age, humans went into the Renaissance. In the 18th century, the crop rotation system was invented in

Wires laid all around the world gave an early type of internet. For Britain’s large empire spread out all over the globe, the telegraph was the ideal way to be in contact and to increase control of their colonies (Bynum, 2012). After a few years of trial and error, it was achieved to lay a cable from Britain to America. Cables to the Far East gave the British further control over its colonies. Telegraphy, with enhanced world-wide communicated further increased the British dominance of the world trade market (Hart-Davis, 2001). Enhanced communications between trains using telegraphs could prevent them from meeting ‘head-on’. Realizing the efficiency of the telegraph, businesses started building their own small telegraph networks. Private individuals started sending telegraphs to each …show more content…
In times of war, the ability to receive news made armies heavily reliant on this new form of communication. Telegraphists were highly paid and needed to be well-educated, because they were in charge of a lot of information. People thought that the telegraph would have the ability to promote peace as it enabled countries to communicate with each other in periods of trouble. Due to the telegraph’s accuracy and reliable information, many say the telegraph improved safety. For example, the telegraph made it possible for the whole railway system of a country could be controlled through a whole line. If a train got stuck somewhere, it would not take long before the problem to be fixed as workers would know about it
