Excerpt
Excerpt: How do we communicate? Humans use various gestures, facial expressions, as well as language, both written and spoken, to communicate ideas, concepts, the past, present, and future. From the earliest times, people have needed to communicate across distance or over time. Early societies developed systems for sending simple messages or signals that could be seen or heard over a short distance, such as drumbeats, fire and smoke signals, or lantern beacons. Semaphore systems (visual codes) of flags or flashing lights were used to send messages over relatively short but difficult-to cross distances, such as from hilltop to hilltop, or between ships at sea. Later, postal services and the telegraph allowed communication at much greater distances and reduced the time delay for conveying more complex information.
