Telecommunication is the assisted transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of communication.
The word “telecommunication” was adapted from the French word “telecommunication”. It is a compound of the Greek prefix tele-, meaning “far off”, and the Latin “communicare”, meaning “to share”. The French word “telecommunication” was coined in 1904 by French engineer and novelist Edouard Estaunie.
In earlier times, this may have involved the use of smoke signals, drums, semaphore, flags, or heliograph. In modern times, telecommunication typically involves the use of electronic transmitters such as the telephone, television, radio or computer. Early inventors in the field of telecommunication include Antonio Meucci, Alexander Graham Bell, Guglielmo Marconi and John Logie Baird. Telecommunication is an important part of the world economy and the telecommunication industry’s revenue has been placed at just under 3 percent of the gross world product.
