DESCRIPTION OF INNOVATION
• Description of innovation in communication :
• Ancient to Medieval Era: Written communication began with pictographs (c. 3500 BCE),
followed by the invention of the printing press (c. 1400), which revolutionized information
distribution.
• 19th Century: The telegraph and Morse code were developed (1837), and the telephone was
invented by Alexander Graham Bell (1876), enabling long-distance voice communication.
• 20th Century: Radio broadcasting emerged in the 1920s, the ARPANET was established in
