Communication today is a breeze. If we want to send a message we flick a text to a friend, an email to a colleague or pick up the phone and call our family. We’re spoilt by how easy it is. But, unless you lived in the same village as someone communication in the past was problematic.
It was the ancient Persians who are credited with the first real postal system. But, most other major ancient civilizations, like, in China, India, Rome, the Mongol Empire, all used postal systems.
Transporting mail through the ages was done mainly on foot, by horse (or some other four legged creature) or, if you were lucky by buggy or cart. But we’re forgetting something, ah, the humble pigeon. In Medieval times messages were tied to their legs and set free to return home like a heat seeking missile.
Apart from man, pigeon and beast of burden, there were some more “exotic” modes of transport used through the ages including rail, ship, zeppelin, balloon and most curiously…rocket.
The way we send mail is constantly evolving. So why is it, that despite massive leaps in technology, the advancement in the telecommunication world, that we still see things like, messenger bags slung over people’s shoulders? Surely, they’re redundant, I mean, how often do we send a letter? Let’s face it; we’re all a bit nostalgic. We like how messenger bags harken back to saddlebags flung over horses and those working class heroes from the 1950s - the utility lineman. Not only are they practical and hardwearing, but also they look cool.
