The development of early forms of networked communication - the telegraph, radio, the telephone, television, and the internet - can teach us a great deal about reliable patterns and help us envision where we could go next. Each section includes information about the inventors of each device and predictions foretelling how each invention might change the world.
1830s-1860s - Telegraph
The ability to send electric signals along wires was an epic breakthrough.

1890s-1930s - Radio

The first "electronic hearth," it was the also the first extensive, real-time mass medium.

1870s-1940s - Telephone

The first instantaneous, long-distance personal communications.

1920s-1960s - Television

The transmission of images and sound opened up new worlds of communication.
  
1960s-1990s - Internet

Some say it will lead to the development of a "global mind" built of all human knowledge.
