Modes Of Communication

Today's lecture was about the organization of our project.

We also hear of some modes of communication. This is relevant because our project asks specifically for a way of communicating location to us.

Some suggested forms of communication that could be useful to the project are:
Speech
Sign Language
E-mail
Txt Message
Morse Code
Semiphore
Carrier Pigeon

The lecturer suggested that carrier pigeons are more reliable than some high tech GPS systems as they can adapt to ever changing conditions whereas GPS relies upon the maps being currently updated and the roads being constant and not needing road works.

I don't think I will be needing carrier pigeons, but it is some food for thought.
