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.

However, the laid cables would often fail which was very frustrating considering that a lot of money had been put into this project. However, the USA and the Great Britain were still committed to seeing the project succeeded which ensured that eventually it succeeded in the year 1956 to the amazement of many.

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 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.

By now, the rapid changes had set the communication industry on a favorable path that would later lead it to its extraordinary growth. As the 20th century set in, wireless method of communication was discovered which went a long way in ensuring that people from far apart geographical locations could still communicate without laying copper cables between them which was not only costly, but tedious.

As is evident, the communication industry has come a long way to get to its present status where it has literally reduced the world to a global village. This has been only possible because of the selfless and determined nature of the early scientists whose work was used as a basis of developing more sophisticated methods of communication.
