Years, he says, this "word" will be out of the lexicon and all those products

Items for collectors - victims of the accelerated course of the media revolution
happening in the world. This revolution takes no prisoners and for a century
In the last few years alone, hundreds and thousands of ideas have been pushed aside
Technologists, inventions, machines and various systems that took &#;8211 in their time,
An active part in the process of modernization of the planet.
Historians or just romantic consumers who want to return

Ours, you are invited to visit the Internet at the place known as: "The Media Project".

It has accumulated (and continues to accumulate) data and facts coming from all over
the world, telling the story of the information revolution from the product's point of view
and the solitary medium, which turns the place into a kind of huge virtual museum

such as the "pankistoscope", "teleharmonium", and the "stereopticon" and so on
In communication methods that were common in our world during the last 150 years
Such as: semaphores, telegraphs and pneumatic systems.
The human race's need to transfer (as part of its cultural development)
To transfer large amounts of information over long distances, quickly and efficiently resulted
During the time for the birth of diverse communication techniques, among them several
especially strange. For example the texlaparta (desert drum) which was one

In order to produce different sounds and tones, and in fact to speak at a distance.
A more unusual way of expression developed not far from there on the Spanish island of "Gumra"
(Gomera) and known as "Silbo". The Sylvo is actually a language that
There is no speaking nor writing, but rather, whistling (!) languages that are only established
In the past, whistling was also observed in ancient tribes in South America and some islands
In the South Pacific Ocean, however, the Sylvo is the best known of them. researchers
Explain the development of this whistling language in the unique environment of the island.
Gomera belonging to the group of Canary Islands is a mountainous island that is almost covered
It is all in ravines, channels and cliffs, which makes movement in it extremely difficult.
The natives of the place, who have been there for hundreds of years, were looking for an effective communication channel
that will allow them to communicate with each other even when a narrow and deep channel separates them.
The resulting result was an open of a special technique of sharp whistles
and strengths that are produced with the help of the fingers of the palm and deleting the tones
and the sounds of the local language. It is not just words or messages

It's long gone. Silcho thus joins a long line of step languages
that thrived for short periods until they disappeared and were burned from the world.
