Messaging through time … منذ فجر الزمان، كان الناس يستخدمون طرق مختلفة للتواصل عن بعد In ancient times, (1)they used smoke signals and after writing developed, (2)they2 invented more ingenious methods of delivering messages; for example, sending a message in a bottle. At the turn of the 20th century, bottles were found which had been sent by people (3)who 3were travelling on board the Titanic. Happier stories have also come to light. In 1956, Ake Viking, a Swede, tossed a letter into the sea, hoping (4)it would reach (5)his future wife. Two years later, (6)he received a letter from a Sicilian girl, Paolina, who4 had found (7)his bottle and soon after (8)they were married! في العصور القديمة، استخدموا إشارات الدخان وبعد تطور الكتابة، اخترعوا أساليب أكثر إبداعا لإيصال الرسائل ؛ على سبيل المثال، إرسال رسالة في زجاجة. في مطلع القرن العشرين، تم العثور على زجاجات تم إرسالها من قبل أشخاص كانوا مسافرون على متن تيتانيك. وانكشفت ايضا قصص مفرحة. وفي سنة ١٩٥٦ ، ألقى السويدي آيك ڤايكن رسالة في البحر آملا ان تصل الى زوجته المستقبلية. وبعد سنتين، تسلّم رسالة من پاولينا، فتاة صقلية وجدت زجاجته وبعد وقت قصير من زواجهما. The invention of the telegraph in 1837 sped up communication dramatically. A criminal, John Tawell, was caught after (9)he had escaped on the train to London. A telegram was sent to the London police, and (10)they 5were waiting for (11)him when (12)he arrived (13)there. In Jordan, there are over six million mobile phones in use by the population. But you can still send telegrams through the Jordan Post Company! اختراع التلغراف في عام 1837 سرع الاتصالات بشكل كبير. تم القبض على المجرم، جون تاويل، بعد أن هرب في القطار إلى لندن. تم إرسال برقية إلى شرطة لندن، وكانوا في انتظاره عندما وصل إلى هناك. في الأردن، هناك أكثر من ستة ملايين هاتف محمول قيد الاستخدام من قبل السكان. لكن لا يزال بإمكانك أن ترسل برقيات من خلال شركة بريد الأردن. Since the invention of the mobile phone and the Internet, the world 6has become a different place. People 7are still sending messages and it usually 8takes only seconds to deliver (14)them. But 9are we now forgetting how to communicate face-to-face? Without a doubt there are some challenges, but there are also examples of when the Internet 10has changed someone’s life for the better. Look at Tara Taylor’s case, a mother (15)who 11lives in the USA: when (16)she uploaded a photo of (17)her daughter on social media, a friend spl,k;otted a problem with one of the child’s eyes. It turned out that the girl had a rare disease, but her sight was saved! منذ اختراع الهاتف المحمول والإنترنت، أصبح العالم مكانا مختلفا. الناس لا تزال ترسل الرسائل وعادة ما يستغرق تسليمها ثوان فقط.هل نسينا الآن كيف نتواصل وجها لوجه؟ لا شك ان هنالك بعض التحديات، ولكن هنالك ايضا امثلة عن اشخاص غيَّروا حياتهم من الانترنت الى الافضل. انظروا إلى حالة تارا تايلور، وهي أم تعيش في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية: عندما رفعت صورة لابنتها على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي، لاحظ أحد الأصدقاء مشكلة في إحدى عيون الطفل. اتضح ان الفتاة مصابة بمرض نادر، لكن بصرها انقذ ! |
