Breaking out of the usual "debate"
As the usual fake "dispute" rages about new "alternative" ways to stay trapped inside the NSA cellphone system that is TOTALLY OWNED BY APPLE AND GOOGLE, it's worth remembering that there are plenty of other ways to communicate, aside from plain speech.
Some are obvious and some have been forgotten. I've been trying to illustrate some of the forgotten systems in the last few years.
Variations on electric telegraphs, visible through the #Morsenet of things tag and often connected to Breguet.
Railroad signaling systems, via the Box Depots set.
Mechanical semaphores, probably the most interesting and evocative.
Pigeons.
Acoustical channels.
