Communication: From the Stone Age to the Metaverse. Smartphones, social media, and the World Wide Web – even children today use the latest technology for communication. A world without digital media is hardly imaginable for them. But how did people stay connected before smartphones and the internet were invented? How did they exchange information when there were no satellites, no telephones, and not even electricity? Christian Holst tells, in a light-hearted and humorous way, with many fun facts, what people have come up with throughout history to communicate across time and space: starting with smoke signals and drums, through carrier pigeons and telegraphs, all the way to our digital present. There are also interactive additional elements such as craft ideas, puzzles, and experiments – a hands-on book for clever kids, exciting and highly relevant.
