1800s
Do you know where it all began? The transportation? The technology? The accessibility? The opportunities?
Lets begin…
1830s
Every city, every town, every village, and every farm in the United States ran on their own times
The source of time ran according to the suns direction and the shadows it would reflect on to the ground
1840s
Telegraph definition
“An apparatus for communicating at a distance by coded signals”
Invention of the Electric Telegraph
This one of the first telecommunication technological pieces of the industrial and technology age
Visual Telegraphs
The earliest telegraph system made of smoke signals, drums, and mirrors used to reflect sunlight; to make these systems work and operate, both the sender and receiver need a method to interpret the signals
Electric Telegraphs
System made by an electrical current running through a wire and when the current is broken in specific patterns it signifies certain letters and/or phrases
This required the invention of generating and storing electricity as well as a way to record the breaks running through the current
This eventually lead to the invention of the Railroad
1860s
Single-Wire Electric Telegraph
People’s lives were governed by the conditions of light reflected by the sun, therefore, time of work is strictly governed by the seasons
Until the invention of electricity
Late 1870s
Telephone definition
“A system that converts acoustic vibrations to electrical signals in order to transmit sound, typically voices, over a distance using wire or radio”
Alexander Graham Bell
Most saw him as a threat, many seem to praise him now; how do you feel?
Bell’s Telephone
Better yet…you can even call to talk about it and look at that, you have Alexander Bell to thank
1915
Wire-Frame Model definition
“A visual presentation of a 3-dimensional (3D) or physical object used in 3D computer graphics. Created by specifying each edge of the physical object where two mathematically continuous smooth surfaces meet, or by connecting an object’s constituent vertices using straight lines or curves”
Frank Gilbreth Wire Model
“The precision of the techniques of motion study, and of the larger field of scientific management indicate both the depth of the intellectual investment in technological progress and the extreme non-autonomy of the scientifically managed worker, whose very hand movements are dictated by the managers”
1930s
After a dramatic rise of the telephone and decline of the telegraph, a dramatic number of messages sent was at an all time low
Have you ever thought of life without a TV? Life without a smartphone at. your fingertips? Remember what it was like when we were young? Don’t you wish we could go back to certain simpler times?
Well I do…our world is operating off of technology and machinery; while this is absolutely incredible, we miss way too much of what is going on in the world around us
Have you realized, the only way we find out about the world around us is social media and/or the news? Rarely we hear about breaking news from word of mouth
