Role of Telecommunication and Its Impact on Societies

 Communication done by cable, telegraph, telephone, or broadcasting is called Telecommunication. Starting from a cable-connected telephone now it has taken the shape of wireless mobiles. Before the start of the 20^th century, it was very difficult to communicate with loved ones living in abroad or even outside the city of the same country. But now the communication process with loved ones is just a click away from mobile.

Technological revolution not only brings advancement in communication but also facilitates societies in terms of other factors related to facilitation and enhancing the living standards of communities and societies. These facilities now become the necessity of our lives as food. If something gets so much involvement in the lives. So, it becomes important to raise awareness about it from time to time.
