 Getting In Touch Through The Ages
Nobody knows who wrote the first letter or when, but we know that 4,000 years ago in Ancient Egypt 
people carried letters by hand over hundreds of kilometers. Very few people could write, so there were 
special people, called scribes, who wrote letters for everyone else.
The first stamp didn’t appear until 1840 and it cost just one penny. Nowadays one of the original stamps 
cost €375. Letter writing was so popular in the 1840s that people delivered the post several times a 
day.
An American company - Remington and Sons - made the first typewriter in 1871. All the letters in the 
word ‘typewriter’ were on the top line of the keyboard so that salesmen could demonstrate the 
machine more easily. Amazingly, the letters are still in the same place on the modem computer 
keyboard!
In 1875, when Alexander Graham Bell demonstrated a fantastic new invention called the telephone, 
nobody was very interested in it. The first fax machine appeared at around the same time, but it was 
so enormous that no one wanted one — in fact, fax machine didn’t become popular for another 
hundred years.
Then there was the walkie-talkie, a small two-way radio first used by the US army in the 1930s. 
However, since they weighed around 13.5 kilos, the talking was perhaps easier than the walking! After 
World War Two, they became popular with police officers.
Nowadays, we can send messages and pictures around the world in a few seconds using computers and 
mobile phones. It is hard to believe that e-mail was only invented in 1971, and the first text message 
was sent in 1992. Today we send over a billion text messages around the world every single day, and 
an incredible thirty-six billion e-mails.
