New Communication Technologies?

All three of today’s fast-changing communication technologies have existed for more than half a century: Bell Graham invented telephone 1870s; the first television transmission was in 1926 (Worldwide, only a mere 8,000 households had TV sets in late 1940); and the electronic computer was invented in the mid-1940s.
Why have changes in these three ares been so recent, yet so far reaching? If these technologies have been around for that long, what, then, are the " New Communication Technologies?"
