The Evolution Of Telecommunications Tulsa OK

By Marci Glover


In the olden days, communication between two people required them to be within each others visual sight or audio range. Other forms of communication included smoke and drum beating. In late 1830s and early 1840s, Telecommunications Tulsa OK, was born which invented new and speedy ways of communication among people.

Telegraphy, telephony and electronic mail were the initial methods to be discovered which promised a faster and efficient method of communication. Messages were transported from one point to another using small electrical pulse which were encoded and decoded at the start and end points. The electrical pulses were carried through copper wires which had first been laid down between the USA and the Great Britain.

The reason behind a communication system linking the USA and The Great Britain was to facilitate easy and quick communication between the president of the USA and the queen of England at the time was President James Buchanan and Queen Victoria. Communication between the two leaders was deemed very vital and thus a quick link between them had to be put in place.

These cables however failed quickly and could not offer reliable form of communication between the USA and the Great Britain, which was heartbreaking owing to the huge investment that had been undertaken. More needed to be done in this area to ensure success in this area, and so the two countries remained committed to ensuring the communication link was up and running. It was until the year 1956 that the telephone link between the two countries was successfully set up.

Earlier before the industrial revolution had taken root, a French scientist named Claude Chappe invented a communication system that was very simple, but very expensive to implement successfully. The system basically used semaphore but was developed to offer communication to people who are far apart. Tall buildings were erected on top of which operators received messages from another operator on another building, understood it and then transmitted it to the next building. This system had been widely accepted but was overtaken by the new and better telegraph system in the year 1880.

The first telegraphs using electrical wires was invented by Sir Fothergill, Sir Charles Wheatstone. This was an improvement to the already existing telegraphy. The earlier versions of telegraph were based on electromagnetic technology.

The communication industry had clearly taken the right for takeoff because new and ingenious communication method came along rapidly. In the early 20th century, wireless forms of communications were discovered which made it possible for people to communicate over great distances without necessarily having a physical link between them such as the copper cables. The first version of wireless communication was invented by Nobel laureate Guglielmo Marconi, which involved use of radio waves.

In conclusion, the world of today is heavily dependent on the communication industry since most of the day to day activities nowadays require people to constantly communicate. This is not to mean that the communication industry has stopped growing because numerous forms of communications are being discovered daily. This has made the world a very small place since people from far apart continents can now converse as if they are in the same room. This has only been made possible by the efforts of past scientists whose projects are being used as guidelines of coming up with even better methods of communication.
