More About messages

Long ago, people sent messages with drums or flags. They had to be loud or bright to be seen. Now, we can text or call on our phones. It is much faster!

In our lives, we send messages all the time. We tell our friends what we want to play. We ask for help with our work. Messages are part of our day.

In the future, we might send messages with our minds! That would be cool. Who knows what new ways we will find to talk?
