"I was driving a dynamite truck when I was 14 years old in North Carolina."
- Harlan Ellison

Telaudiogram  
  An interplanetary communication method.  

I sent a telaudiogram to Patrol headquarters at Earth. I gave full descriptions of Kenniston and this Jovian and inquired if they had criminal records. An answer came through an hour ago. This fellow Holk Or has a record of criminal piracy as long as your arm, and was definitely known to be one of John Dark's crew!"
Technovelgy from The World With A Thousand Moons, by Edmond Hamilton.
Published by Amazing Stories in 1942
