Telecommunication occurs when the exchange of information between communication participants includes the use of technology. It is transmitted either electrically over physical media, such as cables, or via electromagnetic radiation. Such transmission paths are often divided into communication channels which afford the advantages of multiplexing. The term is often used in its plural form, telecommunications, because it involves many different technologies.]]> 2016-09-29 12:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/luketerminator302/52jwflf0d3b5/wish/127226300 luketerminator302 https://padlet.com/luketerminator302/52jwflf0d3b5/wish/127226793 In the Middle Ages, chains of beacons were commonly used on hilltops as a means of relaying a signal. Beacon chains suffered the drawback that they could only pass a single bit of information, so the meaning of the message such as "the enemy has been sighted" had to be agreed upon in advance. One notable instance of their use was during the Spanish Armada, when a beacon chain relayed a signal from Plymouth to London.]]> 2016-09-29 12:48:50 UTC https://padlet.com/luketerminator302/52jwflf0d3b5/wish/127226793 luketerminator302 https://padlet.com/luketerminator302/52jwflf0d3b5/wish/127227098
The conventional telephone was invented independently by Alexander Bell and Elisha Gray in 1876. Antonio Meucci invented the first device that allowed the electrical transmission of voice over a line in 1849. However Meucci's device was of little practical value because it relied upon the electrophonic effect and thus required users to place the receiver in their mouth to "hear" what was being said.The first commercial telephone services were set-up in 1878 and 1879 on both sides of the Atlantic in the cities of New Haven and London.]]> 2016-09-29 12:49:45 UTC https://padlet.com/luketerminator302/52jwflf0d3b5/wish/127227098 luketerminator302 https://padlet.com/luketerminator302/52jwflf0d3b5/wish/127227530 On 25 March 1925, John Logie Baird was able to demonstrate the transmission of moving pictures at the London department store Selfridges. Baird's device relied upon the Nipkow disk and thus became known as the mechanical television. It formed the basis of experimental broadcasts done by the British Broadcasting Corporation beginning 30 September 1929. However, for most of the twentieth century televisions depended upon the cathode ray tube invented by Karl Braun. The first version of such a television to show promise was produced by Philo Farnsworth and demonstrated to his family on 7 September 1927.]]> 2016-09-29 12:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/luketerminator302/52jwflf0d3b5/wish/127227530 luketerminator302 https://padlet.com/luketerminator302/52jwflf0d3b5/wish/127229927 2016-09-29 12:57:53 UTC https://padlet.com/luketerminator302/52jwflf0d3b5/wish/127229927 luketerminator302 https://padlet.com/luketerminator302/52jwflf0d3b5/wish/127230589 2016-09-29 12:59:43 UTC https://padlet.com/luketerminator302/52jwflf0d3b5/wish/127230589 luketerminator302 https://padlet.com/luketerminator302/52jwflf0d3b5/wish/127231031 2016-09-29 13:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/luketerminator302/52jwflf0d3b5/wish/127231031 luketerminator302 https://padlet.com/luketerminator302/52jwflf0d3b5/wish/127232006 2016-09-29 13:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/luketerminator302/52jwflf0d3b5/wish/127232006 luketerminator302 https://padlet.com/luketerminator302/52jwflf0d3b5/wish/127232345 2016-09-29 13:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/luketerminator302/52jwflf0d3b5/wish/127232345
