The Invention Of The Telegraph In The 1800's
The Telegraph
Telegraphs have been long forgotten but never forget that it was a foundation for every communication device used today. Although telegraphs are no longer used today, the contrivance used to compose the telegraph guided the development of telephones, television, and many other electronic based devices. Telegrams were sent to communicate transversely throughout the world and forever changed the way electricity was used. Before this invention, a simple letter or semaphore would have to suffice.
In the 1830’s, the telegraph was first invented. The telegraph had high expectations as it was invented to communicate to help railroad signaling in Britain. (Morse Code and the Telegraph). Whenever Samuel Morse received word of this superb contraption he could not wait to invent his own. With the assistance of Leonard Gale and Alfred Vail, the team came up with on of the most profitable devices known in the 1800’s: the immaculate …show more content…
The telegraph took electricity and made the connection that it could be ran overseas to communicate. After the lines were hung, the telegraph made way for the telephone. Morse Code and the Telegraph states, “The telegraph system subsequently spread across America and the world, aided by further innovations. Among these improvements was the invention of good insulation for telegraph wires.”(Morse Code and the Telegraph). The telegraph assisted the invention of the telephone and advanced the productivity needed to run the lines.
The telegraph was an important contribution to technology. Without the telegraph, wars could have been lost, technology could have been delayed, and relationships could have been lost. The telegraph might be an outdated resource but it connected people with the world. Many take for granted the electronics that are a necessity today but never forget that every phone, computer, television, and GPS had to start with one idea: the
