Imagine To Communicate, Communicate With Your Imagination!: - Ankit Choudhury 2 Year, ECE

This article discusses the importance of communication throughout human history and how it has advanced over time. It argues that communication, in the form of language and art, was essential for passing knowledge between generations from the beginning of humanity. While this generation sees the telephone as a first invention, communication techniques have really just been continually upgraded from earlier methods like mail delivery. The article then focuses on Alexander Graham Bell and the invention of the telephone in 1876. It notes how phones today bear little resemblance to Bell's original design but have advanced tremendously due to ongoing communication improvements. In conclusion, the author encourages engineers to communicate beyond the limits of their imagination.

Imagine to Communicate, Communicate with your Imagination!

2nd Year, ECE

Hello Reader.

You must be thinking that, this is a piece of article on ‘Communication’, the technicalities of
communication, types, advantages and advancements of communication in our present world, or
any other text book stuffs. Well, Sorry to disappoint, but it’s not. Rather it is more of an article,
where you’ll read about the results and consequences of a World, free from the strings of
Communication. So, lets jump into it!

To begin with, the first question that arises is – Was the world ever free from Communication?

And the answer to that, has to be a bold NO! Since the commencement of Human Race, which
would be approximately 2.8 million years ago from now, We humans, have had an arterial way
of living, that being - by Communicating. Origination of language or art by the ancient men had
only one sole purpose – To Communicate. To communicate with the upcoming generations and
race of mankind. Had they been abstained from the longing urge to communicate, the world
today would have been, either completely devoid of all these modern devices, or in much worse
cases, in ashes!

This present generation, since its birth, has perceived the world with the existence of, at least, a
Telephone. So, to them, a Telephone might seem to be the first invention, of all the
advancements made in the long run of Communication. Though to be precise, there hasn’t been
any first invention in the field of communication! There always has been only upgradation of the
previous techniques, to ease our way of communicating. To site that, let us go a few years back,
when the only way of communication from one part of the world to another was, Mail.

In the year 1876, a 29 year old, Scottish-born Gentleman along with his assistant, became the
first one to come up with patent of a, so called - Telephone! Obviously, you have already
recalled the name of this Scottish born Inventor-cum-Engineer, from your mid-school GK books,
in your minds. What Bell actually devised, was, a complex mechanical combination of a funnel
like tube, a disc diaphragm and carbon granules! Sketchy, eh?

The basic principle was to convert the air compressions and rarefactions, caused by sound, into
electric fluctuations. So, when Graham Bell fixated a thin diaphragm at the rear end of a funnel
like tube (which was carrying the sound), he could observe vibrations in that diaphragm at
different frequencies. He, then caged a certain amount of carbon granules and linked them with
the diaphragm. With the movement of the diaphragm the granules were experiencing rapid
compression and loosening, which resulted in small electric fluctuations/signals, varying with the
sound intensity and volume.

Now, keeping aside the science behind the device, take a moment, and try anticipating the whole
invention theory as the root-invention of the device residing inside your pocket. You won’t find
any carbon granules, or any absurdly large tube in your smartphone today. That, my fellow
readers, is what Communication has been doing since the first time Graham Bell uttered his
voice into that tube! Communication has been advancing with a voracious pace, in
correspondence to our convenience and needs. Millions of packets of data, encrypted in zillions
of 0s and 1s are travelling with the speed of light, just to make sure that, You are connected to
the world and beyond!

I’m sure, Mr. Bell couldn’t take a more effective step, in the history of building the modern
world and revolutionizing it, with such tiny an ignition, of, not the carbon granules, but a huge
and vivid Imagination, and a little of Science!

To conclude with, out of all that I could possibly type, the one thing I really want to state is –

We, Engineers, already have the ignition inside us. All we need is an urge to,

Communicate beyond the horizon of your Imagination.
