1.
Smoke signals
→ Used by ancient civilizations (e.g., Native Americans, Chinese) to send messages over long distances.
→ This is the
oldest method shown here.

✔ How to Draw the Lines:
- Start at the
red circle next to
Smoke signals.
- Draw a line to the
circle next to
Letters.
- Then to
Telegraph.
- Then to
Telephone.
- Then to
Email.
- Finally to
Smartphone.
> 🔗 So the sequence of circles you draw a line through is:
>
Smoke signals → Letters → Telegraph → Telephone → Email → Smartphone
