The world today is like a
small village or even a

5. What is telecommunications?
Telecommunication definition is so broad. It
includes the transmission of information over
significant distances to communicate OR
The electronic transmission of signals
for communications. There is always a sender and
receiver. One person can act as a receiver or
even multi persons. Telecommunication helps
people to contact over long distances.
6. EXAMPLE
For example when you phone your grandmother, you are
using a form of telecommunication. The Internet, television
and radio all are means of telecommunication.
Telecommunication can exist on open networks in which
anyone can have access on closed networks in which only
certain people can send and receive data. These networks
are made up of a collection of transmitters and receivers.
7. The History of Telecommunications
The history of communication started since the
using of smoke signals and drums in Africa, the
Americas and parts of Asia. These signs were
used for more than just telling the appearance of
a camp.
8. Society and Telecommunications
Telecommunication
has a significant
social, cultural and
economic impact on
modern society. In
2008, estimates
placed the
telecommunication
industry's revenue
at $3.85 trillion or
just 3 percent of the
gross world
product. So there
are many impacts of
telecommunications
on the society.
9. Economic Impacts
Companies used telecommunications to construct
an international business empire. In cities
throughout the world, home owners use their

home services ranging from pizza deliveries to
electricians. Even the poor communities have
used telecommunication for their advantages.
10. Social Impact
The role of telecommunication in social
relationships was very significant and
increasingly very important. In recent years, the
popularity of social networking sites has
increased dramatically. These sites allow users to
communicate with each other as well as post
photographs, events and profiles for others to
see. The profiles can list a person's age, interests
and relationship status.

13. The Social Disadvantages of
Telecommunications
One of these is, isolating the values, in particularly
when giving entertainment which does not restrict
to values. Telecommunication media shows what
the audience wants. This led to spread of
violence and sex.
Another disadvantage is satisfying the audience
on the account of the value. Researches
approved that telecommunication plays a
negative role in the societies that rich in customs,
traditions and social interaction.
