From the time of primitive man, humans have wanted to communicate through space. Centuries ago , men used drums
to send and receive messages in Ghana, for example, this means of communication is called' talking drums'.
However, communication through drums and other means was not satisfactory over long distance . Long distance voice
communication became possible only in 1876 when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Twenty-three years later,
Italian inventor Guglielmo Macroni invented the wireless telegraph which was the ancestor of the radio. It allowed
communication between England and France in 1899.
There was still a problem with long-distance voice communication via micro-wave radio transmission. This system was
impracticable over the sea. In 1945, science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke suggested a solution. He proposed a system of
communications satellites in an orbit, 35900 km above the equator. The satellites would circle the earth in exactly 24 hours.
Today, it is possible to communicate internationally by satellite. By 20250, electronic information technology will have
transformed world business, schools and family life.
