Communication is how we
exchange information and
ideas with others. It's how
we connect and
understand each other.
We communicate in many
ways, such as talking,
writing, or using gestures.
How do we
communicate if
we're far away
from each
other?
Let's solve some riddles about
communication devices that make it
possible for us to connect with people over
long distances.
In your pocket or held in your
hand,
I'm a tool that connects across
the land. I'm small and smart,
with apps, texting, calling, and

more.
MOBILE PHONE
Mobile phones are portable
devices that use wireless
networks to communicate
over long distances. They
enable voice calls, text
messaging, and various
applications such as video
calls and social media
platforms.
I'm a portable machine, sleek and thin,
With a screen and keyboard, ready to
begin.
I'm so powerful, designed to compute,
From work to play, I'm a modern pursuit.

LAPTOP
Laptops are portable computers
that can connect to the
Internet. They often have built-
in webcams and microphones,
making them ideal for remote
collaboration, online learning,
and staying connected with
others over long distances.
I'm a celestial traveler, way up high,
A shining object in the sky.
I orbit the Earth with great precision,
Enabling global communication with
my mission.

SATELLIT
E
Communication satellites /ˈsæt̬.əl.aɪt/
receive signals from ground-based
devices and retransmit them to other
locations on Earth. They facilitate /fə
ˈsɪl.ə.teɪt/ television broadcasting,
internet connectivity, mobile
communication, and global
positioning systems (GPS).
Turn the dial and listen close,
Hear my tunes, melodic.
Music, news, and stories. I bring,
through the airwaves, I joyfully
sing.

RADI
O
Radios use radio waves to
transmit and receive signals,
enabling communication over long
distances. Radio broadcasting
stations send out signals carrying
audio content such as music,
news, and talk shows.
I'm a box with antennas, quietly
standing tall, Spreading waves
around, connecting all. Invisible
signals, through the air I send,
Enabling devices to connect and
transcend.

WIRELESS
ROUTER
A wireless router is a device that
connects to an Internet service
provider and creates a local
network within a specific area. It
enables communication over
long distances by providing Wi-Fi
connectivity.
I'm a guiding hand when you're on
the road, With coordinates and
maps, I lighten your load. Satellites
above help me lead the way,

GPS DEVICE
GPS (Global Positioning System)
devices use signals from
satellites to determine precise
locations on Earth. These devices
receive signals from satellites,
allowing users to accurately
determine their position and
navigate to desired destinations.
In the digital age, I may seem

But for long-distance
documents, I'm still bold. With
beeps and screeches, I transmit

FAX MACHINE
Fax machines are devices that
transmit documents over long
distances via telephone lines.
The sending fax machine
converts the document into
audio signals, which are then
transmitted to the receiving fax
machine through the telephone
network.
