Summary

This presentation traces the evolution of telecommunication networks, starting with the acoustic telegraph invented by Robert Hooke in 1672. It discusses the semaphore system, the electrical telegraph, and the transatlantic telegraph cable laid in the 1850s. The script highlights the first telephones developed by Johann Philipp Reis and Alexander Graham Bell, leading to the first transcontinental phone call in the U.S. in 1915. It also covers the introduction of coaxial cables and the significant advancements in fiber-optic technology, which revolutionized long-distance communication with its high bandwidth and low attenuation.
