103. ______

An important part of the history of the world is the history of communication. In prehistoric times, people had

limited knowledge of the world. They had little information about geography, the study of the Earth. People knew very

little beyond their small groups except what was happening near their homes. Later, people were organized into villages,

and verbal communication between small towns was possible. Still, the people’s knowledge was limited because they

had no outside information. Kingdoms and small countries then developed, with a king directing the people. Cities

developed, too, but still communication was limited to the small geographical area of the country. Much later in history,

after the invention of the printing press, many more people learned to read, and communication was improved.
