Early Forms of Long-Distance Communication
EARLY FORMS OF LONG-DISTANCE COMMUNICATION In this material, you will learn about Telegraphy, Telephone and GSM architecture Before the development of the electric telegraph in the 19th century revolutionized how information was transmitted across long distances, ancient civilizations such as those in China, Egypt and Greece used drumbeats or smoke signals to exchange information between far-flung points. However, such methods were limited by the weather and the need for an uninterrupted line of sight between receptor points. These limitations also lessened the effectiveness of the semaphore, a modern precursor to the electric telegraph. Developed in the early 1790s, the semaphore consisted of a series of hilltop stations that each had large movable arms to signal letters and numbers and two telescopes with which to see the other stations. Like ancient smoke signals, the semaphore was susceptible to weather and other factors that hindered visibility. A different method of transmitting information was needed to make regular and reliable long-distance communication workable. Did You Know? SOS, the internationally recognized distress signal, does not stand for any particular words. Instead, the letters were chosen because they are easy to transmit in Morse code: "S" is three dots, and "O" is three dashes. The Electric Telegraph In the early 19th century, two developments in the field of electricity opened the door to the production of the electric telegraph. First, in 1800, the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta (1745-1827) invented the battery, which reliably stored an electric current and allowed the current to be used in a controlled environment. Second, in 1820, the Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851) demonstrated the connection between electricity and magnetism by deflecting a magnetic needle with an electric current.

Mothers of Inventions,” the Washington Post, Wednesday, March 12 1997; Page H01
Recognizing Women’s Contributions to Engineering and Technology SME, WESTEC, Los Angeles, CA, 06-03-14-06 Ileana Costea, California State University, Northridge Abstract: The article presents women’s noteworthy contributions to science, technology, and specifically to manufacturing. The role of women in creating a balanced workplace environment is also discussed. Many inventions which are still in use today were made by women: the non-reflective glass, the windshield wiper, noise-less trains, liquid paper, the ubiquitous square-bottom supermarket brown bag, and reducing air and noise pollution methods, to name just a few. Yet, when you look at lists on categories such as inventors, scientists, engineers, Nobel Prizes winners you see mostly men’s names. A few such lists were examined by the author. In the list of famous scientists, in physical sciences only one woman, Marie Curie. [1]: Archimedes, Aristotle, Niels Bohn, Nicholas Copernicus, Marie Curie, Charles Darwin, Leonardo da Vinci, Rene Descartes, Thomas Alva Edison, Albert Einstein, Ben Frankiln, Galilei Galileo, Isaac Newton, Max Planck, Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen, Carl Sagan, Nikola Tesla. In a list of 43 famous engineers there are only five women.[2]: Bonnie Dunbar - NASA astronaut, Beulah Louise Henry ("the lady Edison" for the many inventions), Grace Murray Hopper, a computer engineer, Judith Resnik - Challenger astronaut, electrical engineer, Katherine Stinson - the first female graduate of N.C. State University's College of Engineering. In a long list of 209 only the following are women [3]: Emile Berliner, Katherine Blodgett, Bette Nesmith Graham, Erna Schneider Hoover, Margaret Knight, Stephanie Kwolek, Hedy Lamarr, Olivia Poole. A list of women inventors is given on-line at [4].
