Communication

As a matter of fact, the world would not be what it is now without the constant human urge to communicate with each other all over the world, regardless of the separating distance .
Within the last few decades, the globe has started interconnecting even further and more effectively than ever imagined possible – cell phones and especially the world wide web started their triumphal procession over the planet, interlacing people from all continents and conceivable spots on earth.

Discovery of unexpected dimension

In order to render all of these exceptional novelties possible, the first telephone had to be invented, which eventually happened in 1861, when the German teacher Philipp Reis first presented his inconceivably innovative invention to scientists in Frankfurt am Main. However, at that time nobody realised the unbelievable and revolutionary opportunities the telephone would be able to provide the world with as a means of global communication. As the first telephone was only able to transmit sounds in a very basic way, it did not yet facilitate the clear transmission of human sounds. Therefore, the improved version of this gadget was then patent-registered in 1876 by the American scientist William Graham Bell, who is today considerably more well-known than his predecessor Reis.

Needless to say, the telephone levelled the way to the cellular phone, whose first versions were already invented in the 1920s. Just after that, the first car telephones reigned the European continent and finally in 1983, the first commercial mobile phone was invented by Rudy Krolopp, the designer of Motorola telephones. With the development of national and international phone networks in the 1980s, there was nothing to stop the course of technology in connecting everyone everywhere at any time.

Boundless communication

Something with which most people are rather unacquainted with is the fact that the last stroke of genius of world wide communication so far has actually to be recognised as the brilliant thought of one single man – the American MIT – scientist Tim Berners-Lee. In fact, this professor has invented the World Wide Web in the 1990s and made it possible to access websites and information in general from all over the world online.

To put it in a nutshell, the communicational era has apparently just started its road to success and it is quite likely that all of these revolutionary inventions compose the base of all future technologies yet to come.
