After revolutionary invention of the radio, the 1900's were looking brighter in the sense of communication. During the early 1900's, if a person wanted to make a long distance phone call (outside of their state), one would have to make an appointment to use a special long distance phone and pay for a three minute call with what back then equalled a week's salary. In 1915, the first long distance call was made from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast, which was facilitated by a numerous amount of operators all patching the call through to another. The connection time of a coast to coast call was about 23 minutes. In 1951, AT&T faciltated the first "cutomer-connected long distance call" which was only the begining to a new age of private long distance communication. AT&T was a very important company in the development and advancement of mass communication during the 1900's because of its growing network and new ideas.

In the 1960's radio and telephone technology came together and formed the first cordless phone. Not that it made mass communication easier back then, but in today's society, the wireless technology has a profound impact on today's society. From sattelite and celular phones to WiFi, the wireless advancements aid in the world's mass communication. It is very interesting to note the advancements of mass communication in our world today, and to learn about all of the new inventions and technology that will further the world's efficiency and opportunity to mass communcation.
