My boyfriend recently got a job in telecommunications but I don't know much about it. Do you know what that is?
It's where you transfer information through wires, or other electromagnetic systems.
Interesting. How long has it been around?
It's been around since early means of communication like smoke signals and telegraphs.
Oh wow, sounds like a long time! Do you know of any big telecommunications companies?
Verizon is one, and our current means of communication involve devices like telephones and satellites.
