The Step-By-Step Evolution Of Telecommunications Tulsa OK

By Marci Glover


Back in the days, for people to communicate, they had to be at close proximity to pass the information across. At a distance, the channels of communication available included drum beating and some signals. The scope of information that would be sent was narrow. Telecommunication was invented between the late 1830s and early 1840s which revamped the telecommunications Tulsa OK by providing a quick and convenient mode of communication amongst different 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 USA and the Great Britain always had a good working relationship which meant that constant communication between leaders of both countries was inevitable which necessitated laying of underground copper wires linking the two countries to facilitate the communication. To a great extent, this meant that the project to create a communication link between the two countries had no room for failure.

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.

In the year 1792, a French scientist Claude Chappe designed a communication system which would transmit messages from one place to another. The system had two high towers that were located a distance of six miles away from each other. The operators would be located at the top of these towers. The operators would receive the message and transmit it to the next tower. The transmission was via semaphores. This system was only used up to 1880 when the telegraph system of communication was widely accepted as a powerful tool for communication.

The first commercial electrical wire based telegraphs was invented in the year 1839 by Sir William Fothergil Sir Charles Wheatstone, which was an improved version of the already existent electromagnetic based telegraphy.

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.
