How did people communicate before the invention of computers?

[Jack]

In ancient times, people communicated to each other by word of mouth, which then evolved to letters with the invention of paper/parchment. Long after that, the telegram was invented, as well as the telephone and the radio. US President Hoover would address the American citizens daily from the White House on the radio, which was really effective in keeping everyone in the know.
Then we developed TV and satellites. "Video Killed the Radio Star," remember? With the production of mass media outlets like TV and cinema, the world became smaller in a way, and everyone became more connected. Then computers happened and we're here
