Publicaciones    good idea to sketch in briefly the great milestones in the history of communications .    At the beginning of our history we human beings communicated using signals and gestures accompanied by sounds .    Later we communicated through spoken language .    Then we needed to communicate across distances beyond the reach of voice .    Thus emerged smoke signals , flashing mirrors , flags , drums , etc .    By 1830 we had began to communicate at a distance by telegraph and Morse code ( 1820 ) .    In 1876 the Scot , A . Graham Bell , invented the telephone , which enabled us to communicate verbally at a distance .    In 1894 the young Italian G . Marconi invented the radio and 1901 saw the first trans - Atlantic communication by radio , although the first radio station in America did not start broadcasting until 1920 .    Teletype ( 1910 ) enabled written messages to be sent over distance using certain codes and 1923 ( Vladimir Zworykin ) saw the arrival of television which began its first regular broadcasts in 1935 .    The analogue computer dates from 1930
