Abstract
This paper explores how telecommunications started in the 1800’s and how we have developed this technology in the United State and other countries around the world. It will explain the development of the telephone, cable television, and the internet. There will be a brief history behind each technology and how they all tie into each other now. It will also explain how telecommunication has changed business forever, and will continue to change at an exponential rate. The telecommunication industry has many new jobs that will be explained in this paper. Telecommunications includes voice, video, and Internet communications services. The telecommunications industry is divided into three main parts: wired, wireless, and satellite. New technologies will be made in the future off of these important inventions.
How telecommunication has change business Communication started when man was able to communicate with drums and smoke signals over distances in ancient times. The word telecommunication means the transmission of information, as words, sounds, or images, usually over great distances, in the form of electromagnetic signals, as by telegraph, telephone, radio, or television. (Telecommunication, 2010) In 1836, Samuel Morse figured out a way to transmit information over wires by way of a telegraph. He designed a code that used electrical signals to create a word or phrase. Short signals are represented as dots, and long were represented as dashes. After eight years Morse presented to Congress how useful the telegraph could be. He transmitted the phase “What hath God wrought” over a wire from Washington to Baltimore (WRVM).
Many people tried and failed until to Alexander Graham Bell were awarded the first U.S. patent for the invention of the telephone in 1876. The telephone is a device that converts sound, specifically a human’s voice, to electrical impulses of various frequencies
