Phones. Been around a long time. Basically the first idea of it was in 1844, (Innocenzo Manzetti). Invented around 1860, (Antonio Meucci). The first successful bi-directional transmission of clear speech by Alexander Graham Belll and Thomas A. Watson was made on 10 March 1876, when Bell spoke into his device, “Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you.” and Watson answered.
Radios. Ahhhh. Wireless transmission of information. n 1893, Nikola Tesla, in America, first demonstrated the feasibility of wireless communications.
Television. Once again. Wireless transmission of information. Commercially available since the late 1930s, the television set has become a common communications receiver in homes, businesses and institutions, particularly as a source of entertainment and news.
My point? Well, the internet was first used in the 1950s but has been commmonly available to the public for about 15 years. In technology terms that's a long time. Mobile (cellular) phones, are also a fairly recent thing available to the public, as are video calls made from them.
Anyway... radios were used a long time ago to transmit information. Wirelessly. With wires though, all we got was sound, (telephone). Again, without wires, we got moving image and sound in the form of the television.
So.... if we actually got more information from a wireless network than we did with wires, so why was the internet even invented to run off phone lines, which transmitted a limited amount of information?
More importantly though, if all this wireless technology is so old, and the internet is fairly old in this technologically advanced age of ours,
