Document Summary
The pope stayed in contact with the clergy and politicians. This was an easy way for politicians to spread their information: heads of state within states and between states. News would spread from the king or ruler down: banking networks one of the first networks that began outside of the church or state, informal networks someone bringing messages to and from place (usually merchants) Information that wasn"t necessarily part of government service or that was not as important . It was very expensive, they would use very few letters and numbers ot get their messages across. Hub and spoke network: a style of network where you have two main hubs and many spokes connected, all of the information has to go through the hubs. Connecting the globe: the telegraph network began to connect the globe, they eventually figured out how to connect the wires across bodies of water, these cables were funded generally by big businesses.
