informal communication network found in every organization. The term can be traced back to the United States Civil War in the 1860s. Since battlefronts moved frequently‚ army telegraph wires were strung loosely from tree to tree across battlefields‚ somewhat like wires used to support grapevines. The wires were used to carry telegraph messages created in Morse code (the electronic alphabet‚ invented in 1844) because the telephone wasn’t invented until 1876. Since the lines often were strung hastily during

The telegraph changed how people communicated across long distances. Before this invention‚ people used drumbeats and smoke signals to provide information to other nearby villages. Weather and distance made it difficult to communicate. Someone could read the symbols by looking through a telescope. People needed a better method to communicate and this is where the telegraph comes in. The person who invented the telegraph was Samuel Morse. He was born in Charlestown‚ Massachusetts on April 27‚
