Homing Pigeons: History of Media

          As early as 776 BCE. homing pigeons have been used to communicate with people from far distances as a relatively fast adn easy way to send on information. One of its first uses was in 776 BCE, when these birds were sent away to tell people the results of teh Olympics in Athens, Greece. Also, they have been used in times of war, including as recently as World War II. These birds allowed people to communicate without having to risk their lives or time in traveling, and were able to bring messages in dangerous times like war. It was one of the first ways to network with people far away.
