SMS and letter from the messengers are an integral part of the daily lives of millions, can easily forget that they appear relatively recently. Smithsonian Magazine for a short time speak About the history of SMS and what goes before it.
On December 3, 1992, in Newbie, the UK, the information house of Nile Papourus sent a short message to Richard Jarvis to Richard Jarvis- congratulated Christmas to Richard Jarvis. But, in fact, this regular greeting has marked the beginning of a new era in telecommunications. Papvort sent the first text message in history.
If you have a technical reasoning, then the exchange of text messages in the broadest sense of the term originates 150 years ago – thanks to Samuel Morse and his telegraph. But it was on that Christmas that SMS began the way to everyone's daily life. Of course, the phone takes time to catch this technology. Papvort sent his first message with Orbitel 901 – an early mobile phone, according to modern standards, like an older mine than the phone.
In a sense, the appearance of SMS is only a matter of time from the time the Donald Murray connects the keyboard from the printer in 1901 with a telegraph and creates a telegraph. She has transmitted messages by power lines for a small fee, usually through a message or mail office. Tex Connection, working with the help of telephone lines, worked in Germany in 1927 and after the second World War, spread throughout the planet. It only loses popularity in the fax machines of the 1970s, and then the first computer's e-mail appeared in its position.
The decade after the decade of mankind is approaching an unlimited electronic exchange of text message-Thomas Edison had predicted this finding accurately in 1878. He wrote in one of his essays that everyone of the future would be able to send voice messages by using a combination of a recording and the phone was invented. Even clarifying that “will be able to order quick messages as thoughts formed.” His vision is a picture of a carefree future – the simplicity of recruiting mail and speed of the phone in a bottle.
SMS has become the embodiment of this alliance. Today, the message is asynchronous, instant that the domestic convenience. We can send a message when we want and wait for the answer from the recipient for a long time.
