 * Good to talk Alfathe and I did our project on good to talk. Good to talk is a project about communication and how technology changed the way we use communication. The first thing we did was making a list of inventors of communication. Then we made a survey and handed out 60 copies of it. Then we made graphs of the results in exel. Our final piece of work was a newspaper article. Here you can check out our work. ​ **=====

The **mobile phone** was invented in 1973 by Dr. Martin Cooper, a Motorola employee. On April 3, 1973, the first cell phone call was made. The caller was naturally, Dr. Cooper himself. The receiver of the first mobile phone call was Joel Angel, the research head at AT&T’s Bell Labs and rival of Dr. Cooper. The **Internet** was invented in 1989 by Sir. Tim Burners Lee. The **radio**, or 'wireless,' was born in 1895 when Italian physicist and inventor Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937) experimented with wireless telegraphy The printing press, invented by Johann Gutenberg in 1447, ushered in the era of the modern **newspaper**. Gutenberg’s machine enabled the free exchange of ideas and the spread of knowledge -- themes that would define Renaissance Europe. The **post** office letter box was invented around 1815 by the Cheif postal clerk Thomas Brown. On 26 January 1926, John Logie Baird demonstrated at his laboratory in London, the transmission of moving images with grayscale on television system.
