Description:
Communications has been largely responsible for "shrinking" the world, carrying news, information and entertainment all over the globe and bringing live events from the other side of the Earth directly into our homes. In this series, all aspects of communication are investigated, from printing to photography, telephones to email. Each book examines the latest developments in the fast-moving world of communications technology, and gives some ideas about what the future may have in store.
