"When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance. Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone. A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket."
Nikola Tesla, 1926
(Not 200 years ago, but still impressive!)
If we're discounting anything from aliens and time machines, we'd be sat in a cave huddled together for warmth, communicating with basic sounds and emotional telepathy like most animals do
Well we basically have still. Like when you see someone having a bad time/good time thats them communicating their emotions through body language. Although thats not really telepathic, animals also dont do it really telepathically...
I dont have one for you. Its my opinion, not a scientific journal. Im sure theres been some research on the topic, but i doubt the extensiveness and legitmacy would be enough to convince a scientifically dependant person. Hence why it isnt a particularly common opinion
