As one of the most popular communication tools used mostly by business in 20th century, Fax makes remote copies of documents at speeds almost as fast as making copies on an office copier, about 2 to 10 pages a minute. Since the sending of messages through fax is cheap, easy and fast, it has become a necessary part for most business, such as hospitals, law offices, real estate firms, political organizations, technical support departments etc. Nowadays, this technology system has developed sophisticated that people can easily access it on personal computers. Fax functions like two office copiers electrically connected by a telephone line. And its mechanism is similar to talking on telephone. For instance, when two people talking …show more content…
In 1865, Giovanni Caselli, an Italian physicist, invented the first practical operating facsimile machine system in France. The fax transceiver, which he named “Pantelegraph,” was patented in September 1861. This ancestor of the modern fax machine was huge, about 7-foot high. When the invention was first completed and assembled in workshop, it excited the Parisian scientific world that a Pantelegraph Society was created to promote its adoption. An Important supporter was Emperor Napoleon III. He showed interest and gave him the access to telegraph lines between Paris and Amiens, so that he could conduct a successful intercity test. Later on in 1861, Caselli accepted the invitation of King Victor-Emmanuel of Italy to demonstrate his machine in a series of events. Figure 1.1 is a copy received over a long-distance telegraph circuit that year. Even though this milestone of facsimile system was supposed to achieve great success in technology commercialization, it ultimately failed due to political intervenes. In 1865, Caselli started to provide fax service in France between Paris and Lyon. And this circuit was later extended to several other French
Computerized method: The purpose of this kind of communication is to exchange information quickly, maintain security by password system, and build relationship. (Groups of works, 1914) In health care setting, this method can be used to diagnose online, for the awareness of people about the symptoms and prevention of certain diseases. X rays and other screening information can be sent immediately between hospitals which could speed up diagnosis. Reports and appointment can be sent through email which helps in saving time, for fast communication. In social care settings, emails, advertisement, care plan, records of visit are the examples of this type of communication. In early years settings, the messages and reports of children can be sent through mail which saves the time of parents. They can interact through it so it
Nowadays offices use a large and varied amount of equipment to complete everyday tasks efficiently and effectively. The main ones found in most offices are: computers, printers, photocopiers, faxes, telephones.
A very popular consumer item was the phonograph. It was first invented in 1877 but it was so expensive it took a while for the homes in america to get ahold of it , by the time of the 1920’s 7 million homes had their hands on one but they were still pretty expensive. The phonograph was a music recorder and to the people of america it was important because that's where most of their music came from either that other radio. It was referred to by many names like “talking machine” or “music machines” or its proper word “phonograph”. The most popular phonograph was called the “victor victrola”. Its inventors were Thomas Edison, Emile Berliner,Eldridge R. Johnson. The newer version of the phonograph that was produced in the 1920’s didn’t have
Technology is quite different now than it was back then. The first color TV was introduced in 1951. Now, we have flat screen TV’s, 3D TV’s, TV’s that are controlled by the movement of our hands, and so many other technological advances. In the 1950’s, cell phones weren’t even created. Today, we have IPhones, Androids, Samsung’s, and many other cell phone producers. Although technology from the two time periods is different, both periods had technology such as phones, TV’s, cars, and computers.
E-mails, these work by the message leaving your inbox, it is then transferred to a number of servers before it reaches the other persons inbox. During this time it passes through a few servers, some of which save the email for future reference, faxes are another type of electrical message system, this works by drawing the documents through it, scanning them and saving digital images into memory. The machine dials the number, waits for acknowledgment from the fax machine on the other end then transfers the images using different frequency tones to translate varying shades of dark and light.
Hardcopy information will be distributed through the normal interoffice or mail system. Another method of distributing information will be the facsimile machine. Facsimiles will be used for hardcopy documents that require immediate distribution.
In April 2003, Daniel Rowe, president of Prestige Telephone Company, was preparing for a meeting with Susan Bradley, Manager of Prestige Data Services, a company subsidiary. Partial deregulation and an agreement with the state Public Service Commission had permitted Prestige Telephone to establish a computer data service subsidiary to perform data processing for the telephone company and to sell computer service to other companies and organizations. Mr. Rowe had told the commission in 1999 that a profitable computer services subsidiary would reduce pressure for telephone rate increases. However, by the end of 2002 the subsidiary had yet to experience a profitable month. Ms. Bradley felt only more

While the original Daguerreotype started a massive surge on photography, two later inventions turned photography social phenomenon that became ingrained in our lives today. The first of these inventions is called the “calotype” process. invented in 1839 by William Henry Fox Talbot this method of photography involved exposing chemically treated paper, producing a “negative” that could be redeveloped. This allow for multiple copies of the same image to be printed, and is the predecessor to modern film photography. The next major breakthrough in the art of photography was the portable camera. Before its inception, most photos were taken using a large, cumbersome device that worked as a camera and darkroom for developing glass plates coated with a sticky collodion solution. (film photography was
Before I dive into the significant developments within my life I feel it is important to look back at the broader scope of the history of telecommunications and technology to see some of the earlier examples of
Another technological innovation was the development of electronic mail, or email. Technically speaking, the telegraph was the first electronic mail. The next advancement of the electronic mail industry was the telex network, an advanced form of the telegraph that is still used today. From the 1940s to the 1980s, businesses widely utilized the telex network. In the 1960s and 1970s, many companies used mainframe and mini computers with

Xerox defines diversity as a priceless resource and a key to their success. It more than just race or gender. By incorporating in a company like xerox different cultures and ways of thinking it expands the mind set of the company and leads toward creating innovative solutions and business opportunities (Xerox).
Xerox's "Book In Time" is a revolutionary product, presenting some new opportunities for the company. It is simply a matter of costs. The Book-in-Time equipment allows for a publishing company to produce a 300-page book for $6.90, something which could have been previously reached only for lots larger than 1,000 copies. A significant decrease in publishing costs, given the fact that these cover up to 20 % (including the paper and binding the book), would create the possibility of an increased profit margin.
