The old forms of media

1. Hieroglyphics-Egypt- 300 BC

5.Greek Hydraulic telegraph- Greece- 4th Century BC
hydraulic telegraph was one of two hydraulic-telegraphic telecommunication systems, one developed in 4th century BC Greece, and the other in 19th century AD Britain. The Greek system was deployed in combination with semaphoric fires, while the latter British system was purely hydraulic.
Although both systems employed water in their sending and receiver devices, their transmission media were completely different. The ancient Greek system transmitted its semaphoric information to the receiver visually, which limited its use to line-of-sight distances in good visibility weather conditions only.
