hoping to write in the proper section... I'm new in this field and I'd like to realize a project where two devices can talk together from distance. What I mean is: if I press a button on my device (might be a box with a simple botton) in Netherland, another person can receive an immediately feedback on another similar device in US (might be a led turn on).
My question is: what basic components I need to realize that? a wireless shield? or...?

Over that distance the easiest way to communicate is with the Internet - but it is unlikely to be immediate, or at least not all the time. And when you consider the need to connect the Arduinos at both ends to the web through something else it may be worth asking if an Arduino adds any value.
Another option might to to send SMS messages but that would be more expensive and with probably even worse performance.
I guess if you know enough about ham-radio there may be other options.
