personally mine is the telegraph its the only one that got its own alphabet and the first to go cross country



Its an old one and a good one, still used to this day



People back in the day must have thought they were magic cause they could transmit a message cross country in a blink of an eye!

So what about you yospos what's your favorite communication technology
