Using Language As A Means Of Communication And The Expansion Of The Financial Market

The first message to test the system was chosen by a woman named Ella Young, all because she gave him the news of the funds for the telegraph. The message simply stated,“what hath god wrought” originating from the Bible. When the telegraph was accessible and working, the telegraph was given to the postal service to deliver important information. The telegraph’s use was strictly professional use for news, political talks, business talks and wasn't used by the citizens. The people rarely used the telegraph until a popularity burst

Telephone popularity saw an increase in the early 1900's. The telephone began to appear all over the place. The telephone began to be looked upon as a necessity, "By this time the telephone was settling into national consciousness as a fixed and permanent part of American life."2 The telephone allowed people to interact with other types of individuals, and this ability intrigued the American public. The telephone made it possible for contact to take place with people who normally can not because of being apart by large distances. People want to communicate quickly with others, and the telephone makes this happen. By this time the telephone was not a luxury good, but necessary for survival. Cities especially, saw the telephone as an essential part of society; "Literally telephone service is a life-and-death matter to the citizens of every urban community in America."3 Although the telephone was popular in cities, it was surprisingly popular in the rural Midwest. The telephone created a need to know what took place in the world. The Midwest was not as densely populated and the telephone developed an excellent way to communicate the news of the day amongst surrounding communities. Before, one would have to rely on the news spreading via word

The electric telegraph transformed how wars were fought and won and how journalists and newspapers conducted business. Rather than taking weeks to be delivered by

Because it wasn’t typically installed in homes, the telegraph never competed directly with the telephone. However, we find that texting now commonly replaces the extra effort of a phone call. We do not bother having an entire phone conversation to say, "I'm on my way" or "I'm running late" when a short and simple text message will do.

Telegraphs and telegrams played an important role in the communication of the Great

The abrupt surface of industrial technologies in the late nineteenth century led the way for the ethic of American workers. Among these technologies was inventions that improved communications. Cyrus W. Field laid a transatlantic cable to Europe. Alexander Graham was able to improve the telephone within the next decade. That invention took off with 1.35 million being sold by 1900, and 13.3 million

Newer technologies, such as the telephone and the Internet, are based on the concept of the telegraph. Like the telegraph, they use electricity to transmit information from one location to another. Each new communicating technology has had an impact on society, greater than the one before. The telegraph changed society indirectly, by transforming the workings of government and industry. The Telegraph and Morse Code invention was also used to make historic announcements. One way that it was first used in this way was to bring the news of the death of Prince Albert in 1861. A telegram was also sent to the current Queen Elizabeth to let her know about the death of her father when she was on tour in Kenya. Also, modern newspapers were enabled by

The Telegraph was Developed in the 1840s by Samuel Morse and supporters. the Telegraph changed long-separate discussion. Michael Faraday invented the electromagnet. When Morse came to see how it worked, he considered that it may be likely to send a hidden message over a wire.While a student at Yale, he had written his parents a letter how interesting he found electricity. While at Yale, Morse found when he began to develop the telegraph he had very little understanding of electricity.After scattered attempts to work with batteries, magnets, and wires. Leonard Gale helped and provided critical points to Morse's telegraph but, Gale not only pointed out mistakes in the telegraph and showed Morse how he could make a signal higher and overcome the

Imagine a society without instantaneous telecommunication. This is hard to comprehend in a society used to computers, tablets, and smartphones with their ability to enable rapid communication through text messages and emails. Yet, this was the case before Samuel Morse invented the telegraph, along with Morse code. Although it may not be obvious, the telegraph had a major impact on history. By being the first electronic communicator, it paved the path for new technological advances, changed business, politics, and war procedures, and united the nation. Samuel F. B Morse’s invention of the telegraph had a huge impact on society and made America better.

The currency of the article is very recent and can still be useful in my paper because of how long ago the telephone was invented. The purpose of this article seems to educate children on the history of the telephone. I chose this article because it was a short general summary on the history of the telephone and about Alexander Graham Bell. This article did not provide all the details I needed for my paper but was good overview of information I could use in my paper.

The telephone has had a huge impact on today's society. I in 1876 Alexander Gram Bell created the most used invention used in today’s modern society, the telephone. When the telephone was first created nobody really thought anything of it but little did they know that people today would be addicted to them.

By the 1850s, predictions regarding the impact of the new medium abounded, including statements about how it would make countries further connected, how it would change politics and business and how it would make newspapers obsolete. All of the same statements were later made in the 1990s, when people were astonished at the potential of the Internet. Whatever expectations and predictions people had about the telegraph, they were right about one thing: the telegraph would be consequential over the course of history. The introduction of the telegraph had an influence in communications on a large global scale, and altered both diplomacy and society. To sum up the impact the telegraph had on the financial realm of the world, “While a British tramp freighter steamed from Calcutta to New York, a broker in London was arranging by telegram for it to carry an American cargo to Australia. World commodity prices were also instantaneously conveyed by the same network of communications” (Buckler, et al., 2006). The telegraph marked the first huge advance of communication technology since the printing press, and this milestone allowed

Similar to the telegraph, the invention of the telephone made instant communication a possibility. Far more effective than the telegraph, the phone allowed for the spread of more information over a shorter period. Writing was no longer the only form of long distance communication. Telephones encouraged the progress of city centers and office buildings. The importance of messengers and telegraphs dwindled as the telephone industry expanded. By the early 21st century, constant connection to the entire planet through cell phones was an American standard.

Early in 1874 Bell met Thomas A. Watson, a young machinist at a Boston electrical shop. Watson became Bell’s indispensable assistant, bringing to Bell’s experiments the crucial ingredient that had been lacking, his technical expertise in electrical engineering. Together the two men spent endless hours experimenting (Paschoff 43,44). Although Bell formed the basic concept of the telephone using a varying but unbroken electric current to transmit the varying sound waves of human speech, in the summer of 1874, Hubbard insisted that the young inventor focus his efforts on the harmonic telegraph instead. Bell wanted to continue his work on the telephone but he complied. When he patented one of his telegraph designs in February 1875, he found that Elisha Gray had patented a multiple telegraph two days earlier. Greatly discouraged, Bell consulted in Washington with the elderly Joseph Henry, who urged Bell to pursue his “germ of a great invention” speech transmission (Grosvenor and Wesson 55).

The telegraph did wonders to speed up process of communication; however, it was still not ideal for everyday interaction between families and neighbors. The telegraph Morse invented was a single telegraph, sending one message at a time, so Alexander Graham Bell tried to create a multiple telegraph, sending more than one message over the same wire. At the same time, Bell and Thomas Watson, an electrician, were working on another idea in secret – the telephone. On June 2, 1875, Alexander Graham Bell discovered he could hear a sound over an electric wire, the sound of a twanging clock spring. On March 10, 1876, Bell explained in his notebook entry that his experiment was finally successful. That day he said the famous first words spoken into a telephone, “Mr. Watson, come here, I want you.” Finally solving the problems of the telegraph, Bell invented the telephone. The telegraph system was in place for about thirty years already, taking the telephone quite
