In the age of the postal era, letters took months to circumnavigate the world. Telegraph was a huge boon where a message could be transmitted across the globe within seconds. World War I propagated telegraph to the entire world. Telephone commercialized by Bell laboratories reached each nook and corner of the world. World War II and colonization took telephone to every part of the world. Even though the telephone saw wide usage, it was a point-to-point communication.
