The world would not be around if it were not for the many communication advancements through the years, and yes, it includes one that delivers it through word of mouth as it still brings messages to others. Today is National Cross Atlantic Communications Day, commemorating the founding of new businesses in both the United States and European regions through ships delivering messages. 

National Cross Atlantic Communications Day: Ship Messages Before

According to National Today, the National Cross Atlantic Communications Day commemorates the first new business established between Europe and North America. 

The iconic thing here is that its messages are not instantaneously delivered before, and they have to send them overseas via ships that will provide not only their letters but also other cargo. 

It was not an easy feat before, especially as the sailors and shipping companies had to monitor the weather to determine if there would be a shipment that would cross the Atlantic Ocean. Of course, a lot were reluctant to start their business with each other, especially as they would be hard to reach across international waters. 

Today, July 27, is the day that it celebrates the cross-Atlantic communications experience that started it all.

Technology Advancement Evolved for Communication

In further evolution of communications technology, the first telephone call to and from the US to Europe took place in January 1927, marking the first "Transatlantic Telephone Call." Still, it took many years before it successfully made the phone call from overseas, relying massively on the written or printed messages from the sender to its receiver. 

Still, communications technology evolved massively, and it continues to this day, even for international calls and conferences. 

Technology and Communications in the World

There are multiple offers now regarding the communications feature to connect with other people, entities, groups, companies, and more online. Before, users would need to write a letter, address it, and send it over to board a ship, and it may take weeks to months, depending on the weather conditions and if voyages are available. 

Thanks to initial telecommunications companies that focused on long-distance landline-based communications, technology evolved to bring remote cell towers that are wireless now. It still carries out the cell tower tech, including that of Verizon, T-Mobile, and other service providers, and now, they bring 5G internet that comes with it.

Companies like Apple, Google, Samsung, and more also offer a chance to harness the power of communication using their devices, now available through smartphones and computers. 

Before, Cross Atlantic Communications was the leading technology from the US to Europe, but now, services like SpaceX's Starlink bring internet connection from the satellites to any place in the world. 

Technology will constantly evolve, and it would bring the world more opportunities, with its offers now focusing on helping everyone enjoy seamless connectivity for all, with the Cross Atlantic Communication to thank.
