introduced and horse riders carried letters. This meant that
communication was further improved. Horses drawn coaches could move
people from town to town in quite a comfortable way. At the
beginning of the last century the steam train was invented and for
the first time really fast communication became possible. Not only
could letters be sent easily from one part of a country to another,
but travel was made easy, too. At about the same time, steam ships
helped communication between countries.
The invention of the telegraph in the middle of the last century
further increased the speed at which messages could be sent. In this
system electrical signals, in code, are sent along metal wires.
These signals travel so fast that they could go nearly eight times
round the world in one second. A special device is needed to send
the code. At the other end another device is used in order to
receive the code. By this method messages can be sent over distances
of several hundred kilometres. With the invention of the telephone
the human voice could be sent over long distances. Because of this
the telephone system replaced the telegraph for quick communication
over long distances. The telegraph is still used, however, by
newspapers in order to send news and for other purposes too.
At the beginning of this century radio was invented and in a few
years communication was again improved. The main difference between
radio and telephone is that radio uses no electrical signals which
travel long distances along wires. Instead invisible waves, moving
at the same speed as electrical signals, are used. A few years ago
there were not many radio stations in the world. Today there are
