Means of Communication

People use various means of communication to get from one place to another. In the old days people had to travel several days, weeks and months to get to the place they needed. They either went on foot, by coaches driven by horses or on horseback or by. boats and ships. Then trams, cars, buses, planes, underground and other means appeared.Many people like to travel by air as it is the fastest way of traveling. A lot of people like to travel by train because they can look at passing villages, forests and fields through windows. Some people like to travel by car. There they can go as slowly or as fast as they like. They can stop when and where they want.People who live in big cities use various means of communication to get from one place to another. Londoners use the underground railway. They call it “the tube”. London's underground is the oldest in the world. It was opened in 1863. There was one route at that time, four miles long. Now London's underground has 277 stations and it is 244 miles long. Londoners use buses. The first bus route was opened in London in 1904 Today there are hundreds of routes there. The interesting thing is that some of the routes are the same as many years ago.

London's buses are double-decked buses. Londoners do not use trams, though London was the first city where trams appeared. And now it is one of the biggest cities in the world where there are no trams. The last tram left the streets of London many years ago. Londoners use cars. One can see a lot of cars in London streets. When Londoners leave the town, they use trains, ships or planes. Phones today, are a far cry from their origin of journey. Both from a technological and the aesthetic perspective, they have changed beyond recognition: becoming glamour items in the process. Today, not only are they configured to work most reliably, but to also to look a world apart from each other.

Teenagers imagine their cellphones to be one among their fashion statements. Apart from the looks, they fulfil various tasks at the same time. From Java games to receiving and sending emails, to camera and video camera, to a music system they are also available with internet and with modern technology such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPRS, phones these days are full-fledged multi-tasking gadgets. Business phones used to be a different calling, focusing more specially on the functionality rather than form. However, even those targeted at the business-class consumers these days, incorporate the stylish features, that fascinate children and adults alike. Their glamour quotient is on the rise and this tendency among the consumers is an enhanced selling point. They are thus smart not only in performance but in appearance as well. These days, many of them can inadvertently arrest your attention with their futuristic designs. Sci-fi movies can be proud of the legacy they spawn which includes phones with all their exquisite design.

Another amazing feature of the cellphones is the continually shrinking size of these items. In fact, it is not only size, but also the weight that are going for a toss. At times, it can be surprising as to how such a small thing can accommodate so many features and functions. They have truly changed in the way they used to be just a decade ago and by the way things are going, the shape and size of the phones of the future can be a matter of wild imagination.
