About this listen

Communication has always been at the heart of human progress. From smoke signals on mountaintops to the invisible Wi-Fi networks that surround us today, every leap forward has reshaped how we share ideas, stay safe, build relationships, and understand the world. From Morse Code to Wi-Fi is a clear, captivating journey through the ten biggest breakthroughs that transformed human connection forever.

Across these richly explained chapters, you’ll discover how a series of ingenious inventions reshaped daily life—beginning with the electric telegraph and Morse Code, the first technology to send information faster than a person could travel. You’ll feel the wonder of the first telephone call, when a human voice travelled across a wire for the very first time. You’ll explore how radio waves carried sound through the air, how television delivered moving pictures into living rooms, and how satellites made global communication truly instant.

The book then guides you through the rise of computers, the birth of the internet, and the arrival of email—one of the earliest “killer apps” that changed how families, businesses, and entire nations interacted. You’ll follow the rapid evolution of mobile phones from bulky bricks to sleek pocket companions, and the explosion of smartphones that turned everyday devices into powerful, always-connected digital hubs. Finally, the story culminates with Wi-Fi—the invisible force that makes modern life mobile, flexible, and seamlessly online.

Written in an accessible, engaging style suitable for all ages, From Morse Code to Wi-Fi makes complex ideas easy to understand without losing their wonder. It reveals how each breakthrough built upon the last, creating the hyperconnected world we now inhabit. Whether you’re a curious listener, a student, or simply someone fascinated by how technology shapes humanity, this book will leave you with a deeper appreciation of the remarkable inventions that brought us from dots and dashes to digital life at the speed of light.
