MODULE 3 : MODERN FORMS OF COMMUNICATION

INTRODUCTION:
In ancient days, the communication can be done using Morse code in the
telegraphs. These telegraphs use Morse code for long-distance communication
over wires. Afterward, the wired telephone, the TV & the wireless radio was
invented by the electronic industry. But at present, the information can be shared
easily with each other at any place and anytime using e-communication.

there is no scope for copying. Even typed matter can be transmitted more
effectively through fax.
