The topic of this final thesis is the historical development of communication and how man used it from the prehistory period to the present day. Communication is an important factor in a person's daily life, enabling him to share information with others. The communication process has changed throughout history with the evolution and development of humans. In the beginning of communication, methods of visual representation of things or events were used, which, through their simplification, turned into symbols that make up letters. With the development of the alphabet and the media used to write, literacy spread among people. The further expansion of mass communication was influenced by the progress of technology and various inventions that enabled the emergence of different means of communication. A revolution is taking place in the communication process, and communication is becoming faster and easier. The task of this thesis is to process the communication process and methods that man has used throughout history until today's modern era.
