EVOLUTION OF COMMUNICATION
• SMOKE SIGNALS
The smoke signal is one of the oldest forms of long-distance
communication. It is a form of visual communication used
over a long distance. In general smoke signals are used to
transmit news, signal danger, or to gather people to a common
area.

• PIGEONS
Pigeon post is the use of homing pigeons to carry
messages. Pigeons are effective as messengers due
to their natural homing abilities. The pigeons are
transported to a destination in cages, where they are
attached with messages, then the pigeon naturally
flies back to its home where the recipient could
read the message.
• PONY EXPRESS

The Pony Express was a mail service delivering

messages, newspapers, and mail using relays of
horse-mounted riders that operated from April 3,
1860, to October 26, 1861,
between Missouri and California in the United
States of America.

• SEMAPHORE FLAGS
Semaphore flag is a semaphore system conveying
information at a distance by means of visual signals
with hand-held flags, rods, disks, paddles, or
occasionally bare or gloved hands. Information is
encoded by the position of the flags; it is  read when the
flag is in a fixed position.
• TELEGRAPH • RADIO • TELEPHONE

Telegraphy is the long- A telephone is Radio waves are used to carry

distance transmission of a telecommunications device that permits information across space from a

THE FEATURES OF IOS 15
1) FOCUS
• The Focus allows users to set their "state", such as work, sleep, do not disturb or a custom
one. Based on the selected state, users can set the type of notification they want to receive
and from which application. It is also possible to choose which pages and then apps to show
on the Home based on the state. The state can change automatically based on where the user
is or a time.
• Focus also controls the interactions with Contacts, so it's possible to decide which specific
contacts can "disturb" the user.
• Some Lock Screen settings can be controlled based on the state: for example, the Dim Lock
Screen feature, which darkens the lock screen from not showing notifications on that screen,
can be automatically turned on or off based on the state.
• Focus is synchronized automatically across different iOS and macOS devices on the same
iCloud account, as well as any paired watchOS devices.
2) NOTIFICATIONS

Notifications receive a new look with contact photos for all

communication apps and larger app icons.

The Summary allows the user to group and postpone the

notifications coming from the chosen apps, delivering them at a
scheduled time in a single big notification called summary
notification.

for the Mac. Safari will automatically upgrade HTTP URLs to
HTTPS if compatible. The WebM audio codec is supported.
• Safari opens with a new start page, it is possible to have a
custom page on startup that contains sections including
favorites, most frequently visited sites Siri suggestions.
• App Clips more discoverable: it is possible to show a full-
screen preview of the app clip in Safari.
5) SIRI
• Siri now works offline, offering shorter response times for the
most common requests that do not require an Internet
connection. Requires A12 Bionic chip or later.
• Share with Siri: you can ask Siri “Hey Siri, share this with
[name]” (or something similar like “send this to [name]”) and
Siri will share the content on the screen to that person using
Messages. Items like images, web pages, Apple Music or
Podcasts, Apple News stories, and Maps locations will share the
actual content (or a link to it). For content Siri can’t share, it will
warn you that it can only send a screenshot—but Siri will still
automatically take that screenshot and drop it in a Message to
that person.
• Announce Notifications: with announce notifications update in
iOS 15, Siri can now read all incoming notifications and even
allow users to respond to them using their voice. The user can
choose to enable this for specific apps.

are automatically filled when a user signs in to the site.
3) APP PRIVACY REPORT
• By activating this app logging, the user can save a 7-day summary
of the times when the various apps access certain data and the
domains or websites they visit.

4) SIRI IMPROVED PRIVACY

• On devices with an Apple A12 Bionic system on a chip or
newer, Siri now converts audio into words on the device itself
instead of sending it to Apple servers.

THE ADVANTAGES
AND
DISADVANTAGES OF
TECHNOLOGY
ADVANTAGES :
I. Save time
• Technology saves our time by helping us to do our daily tasks faster and increase
our intelligence. With Technological machine people are getting more help in
every sector. It is very easy to get access to relevant information at any time
anywhere. This is possible because of modern technologies like broadband
internet, lots of data is being published and indexed online. 
•  You can order food in advance from a restaurant to pick it up, shop online to
buy some daily supplies which is more cheaper than supemaket
• Technology makes our life easier and saving more time .
II. BETTER COMMUNICATION 

• It can be said that communication is like water for life: we can not develop
without communication. Modern technology has developed many advanced
technology tools in the field of communication.
• These tools include e-mail, cell phones, video conferencing, instant messaging
applications and social networking applications.
• All of these modern communication tools have simplified the way humans and
businesses communicate.
III. IMPROVEMENTS IN
THE WAY OF TRAVELLING
• Modern transportation technologies make us  easy to travel over
long distances. Transport is an important element in the lives of
humans and the business world.
• In the past, it used to be expensive and slow to travel across long
distances. They can currently cover 10 miles away in just a few
minutes or hours, using airplanes or trains.
• Use of technology in transport has made traveling fast and easy.
Transportation is very important both in our lives and in the
business world.
• Nowadays if we want to travel to other countries it has become
very easy for us. In the past traveling was taking 2-3 days as
compared to now it takes only a few hours from one destination to
another.
IV. EDUCATION

• E-learning is a relatively new concept. Students make

use of internet technology to download important
study materials in the form of text, audio and videos.
• Nowadays, students always tend to learn from
the internet more than from traditional textbooks. By
integrating the technology with the educational
system, teachers and parents can greatly engage
students in their studies. 
DISADVANTAGES:

II. HEALTH

• The technology can cause numerous health problems. For example, according
to Practice, Medical News Today, PR Log  and scientists are concerned about
the links between technology. It can cause obesity , vision problems, hearing
loss, and neck strain or etc.in, deafness and muscle problems.
• Also, technology wastes, such as fuel used and emissions from factories
machines can pollute the environment, disrupts ecosystems and make people
sick.
III. DEPENDENCY
• As a society advances more in the technological field, people begin to rely
more on computers and other forms of technology for their daily existence.
• This means that when a machine breaks down or has a breakdown, humans can
become almost useless until the problem is solved.
• This kind of dependence on technology places people at a distinct
disadvantage because they become less self-sufficient.
• In this century , people are excessively dependent on modern technologies
such as cars, computers, smartphones, etc. If any of these technological
equipment, machinery or tool fail to perform, they feel helpless. We become
more dependent on technology that we even cannot do our everyday tasks
without technology.
