Electrical telegraph

efficient production. The major inventions like the locomotive and the miles of railroad tracks, led to the transportation of products and people faster then ever before. Along came an advanced wave of industrialization involving steel, chemicals, electrical and petroleum power, better then steam power, easier and more…

Communication, and even computers. Today people communicate with Cellular Phones. They can call, text, get on social media, talk to others, and lots more in just seconds. Where did this idea originate? Well it originated with the Telegram. The Telegraph was a system for transmitting messages from a distance along a wire, especially one creating signals by making…

In the past, there has been many great people who changed the world by creating an invention to make life simpler. Some inventions that were made stood in front of others while some weren’t given much credit. One of the many great people included a man named Samuel Finley Breese Morse. Morse was born in April 27, 1791 in Charlestown Massachusetts with a father named Pastor Jedidiah Morse and a mother named Elizabeth Ann Finley Breese. Samuel Morse was a very important man for the many things…

innovation of communication was printing press.” The telegraph followed it. In the 1830s, Samuel F. B. Morse invented the telegraph, which is the machine using electricity to deliver messages in code over wires. Then, in 1844, between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland, the first telegraph line was constructed, the first message “What hath God wrought?” was sent by Morse (“1870s-1940s Telephone”). Therefore, with the invention of the telegraph, the speed of communication jumped up to a…

Helmholtz used tuning forks to conduct experiments in sound. He invented a device that used an intermittent electrical current to activate an electromagnet. This in turn kept the tuning fork vibrating. The device spurred Bell to start working with telegraphic instruments and batteries. As you can imagine living in a world with silent people and a natural scientific…

The history of Journalism is something so unique to study. Media has improved in so many ways over time. Looking back to the ways people received their news, I come to realization that there are many differences. The speed of time as well as strategies taken to express information are just a few examples. The earliest methods of transmitting news was through words written, which possibly limited its content to what people took out of the message. The accuracy of what was processed depended on…

teachers of the deaf. Throughout his life he continued to educate the deaf, and he founded the American Association to Promote the Teaching of Speech to the Deaf. From 1873 to 1876 Bell experimented with a phonautograph, a multiple telegraph, and an electric speaking telegraph (the telephone). Funds came from the fathers of two of his pupils; one of these men, Gardiner Hubbard, had a deaf daughter, Mabel, who later became Bell's wife. Inventing the Telephone To help deaf children, Bell…

his mother was a housewife. Tesla's interest in electrical invention was spurred by his mother. She invented small household appliances in her spare time while her son was growing up. He was the fourth out of five children. He had one older brother named Dane, two older sisters, Milka and Angelica and one younger sister named Marica.…

first prototype of alternating current motor. He than approached wealthy businessmen who could afford to fund him but they couldn’t understand the device and rejected it. He figured the only way to realize his dreams was to meet world's greatest electrical engineer Thomas Edison. So he decided to move to NYC to meet Edison. Almost missed his train, lost his money, passport, his ticket, his luggage, then got caught on board the ship. He than was arrested later released with only four cents and an…

In the midst of a technologically saturated lifestyle, I stand by the idea that technology’s impact on the United States was once empowering, but has began to hinder the minds of average Americans. Many individuals go about their day without recognition of their use of short cuts that weren’t available a mere ten years ago, let alone the use of developed inventions that began one hundred years ago. I feel immensely fortunate to be apart of what seems like one of the last generations to…
