> Can there be any new, technically difficult means of communication?

I'm assuming you meant "technically different"?

Either way: I can't think of any, but given the last few millenia of progress, it seems unlikely that we've reached the peak.



No, technically difficult. Otherwise, hackers are overrun by everyone else. Telegraph, ham radio, early computers were all technically difficult. Although new modes of communication are still coming - eg twitter, vine - they aren't technically difficult to use.


I guess there can be means of communication that are technically different at any one point in time.
