What are the key turning points in Communication History?
There are many key turning points in communication history. This all begins with the Phoenicians creating the first alphabet in 3500 to 2900 BC. McGaughey's website, 'Some Dates in the History of Cultural Technologies' sates that once the alphabet had spread to many other countries and groups of people, writing began. Writing began in 1450, with the first newspaper appearing in Europe. In 1714 the first patent for a type writer was given to Henry Mill which then led to Alexander Graham Bell receiving the patents for the electric telephone. In 1927 was another key turning point, with the first television broadcasts in England. Finally, Computers were first sold commercially in 1951.
