The Telegraph

The invention of the telegraph was not from a single thought, but instead came about from several other evolutions in the field of electricity. The first practical inventions pretty much appeared at the same time, around 1837 from British gentlemen, William Cooke and Charles Wheatstone. Samuel Morse of New York had creatre Morse code in 1832 and convinced the US government to help build the pole and line system in 1843-44. This system of poles, wires and insulators started the telegraph era in the United States, which stood the test of time for over 100 years.
