Revolution is nothing but like having a sore on your body and then you put something on that sore to cure that infection. Power anywhere where there’s people.Ī lot of people get the word revolution mixed up, and they think revolution is a bad word. But every one of these inventions can be misused, and the reflective mind is saddened by the fact that whereas man is making enormous advances on the scientific front, he is still in the dark age from the moral point of view.Power anywhere where there’s people. We live in an age of scientific marvels, which could make for a better, happier world – were their employment confined to humane purposes. Satellites such as ‘Telestar’ and ‘Early bird’ now enable television to be used on the world-wide scale. It has a variety of scientific uses in addition to its commercial use as a news and entertainment medium. Television is, of course, the best-known advance in communication. Radio waves ‘bounced’ back from the object located define its position, on a screen. The last has marked the development of radar, which is really a locating system. The same system is used on ships and at sports meetings, among other places. A large office or factory nowadays relies greatly on two modern methods of communication that of the intercom telephone system, which enables offices to exchanges notes at the drop of a switch, and the ‘public address’ system for disseminating news and even ‘music while you work’. ![]() Internal communication has, of course, been greatly improved. The undersea cable supplements this method, and it is not possible to send pictures by both means. SPEECH WE. THE REVOLUTION SERIESThis is achieved by a series of booster radio stations set up at intervals for this purpose. Nowadays, it is possible to pick up the telephone in Singapore and within a matter of seconds speak to the subscriber in London. His arrest was due to the radio-telephone, an invention which has been of great service ever since where world-wide instantaneous communication is desired. Perhaps the modern age dawned when the murderer, Crippen, was arrested in 1910, as he left the trans-Atlantic liner in the USA where subsequently, he was tried and executed. Turning to communications, we find a series of similar advances. The nuclear engine can operate for months without refueling, with the result that submarines carrying strategic nuclear weapons, can remain undersea almost permanently, and that nuclear sea-transports are independent of fuelling-stops. Finally, of course, nuclear fission has helped transport. Four of them have recently been ordered by Britain for the English Channel crossing. For short, comfortable journeys, this transport innovation is ideal. Perhaps bracketed with this machine is the hovercraft, land-sea or land by means of compressed-air jets. The machine has shown its paces in war, and also in the more humane tasks of land-sea rescue, collecting land-casualties and dropping food and medical supplies. Able to hover, land and take-off vertically, this aircraft needs only a confined space even the top of a large building or a small jungle clearing will do. For local transport, the helicopter has become an incredibly useful machine. Airline disasters continually make the news, but in fact, the accident rate in flying is very low. The safety factor has also been highly developed. The ‘sound barrier’ is broken very easily and high flying reduces air friction so that crossing oceans and continents is now a matter of hours. Invented by Sir Frank Whittle, this engine today, powers aircraft to incredible speeds and heights. The second revolutionary advance is the speed of air transport due to the development of the jet engines. Permanent scientific satellites already carry equipment that feeds backdate to the earth. At this moment, both the USSR and the USA are capable of putting men `into orbit’ round the earth, who can even leave their space-craft and float in the space. ![]() Taking transport first, the most dramatic advance has been in rocketry. For the purpose of this speech, we can discount the train, ship, motor car, and telephone, because they have all been with us for many years, and consider more recent developments, As we do so, we are confronted with a bewildering array. The age of revolutions in transportation and communication that we live in began two and a half centuries ago. ![]() The Revolution in Transport and Communication – an Open Speech ![]()
