Introduction Communication refers to the action of passing important information. The process calls for a correspondent, the information to be conveyed, and an anticipated receiver, even though the recipient need not be at hand or cognizant of the dispatcher’s intention to pass information at the time of communication. As a result, communication can take place across huge distances in time and space. Communication calls for the communicating persons to have in common an arena of communicative commonality. The communication course is accomplished once the recipient has identified with the message of the sender. Humanity has invented various communication technologies following the development in other sectors of life and the need to pass information over long distances. There were the earlier communication technologies like the telegraph, which was later followed by telephone communication, which has advanced to today’s efficient mobile telephony. Additionally, the invention Internet technology as well as, computers has literally turned around the way people pass information. The levels of speed and convenience are unbelievable. The history of the electric telegraph and telegraphy The electric telegraph, which passed on electric signals through wires from one area to another, is an out-of-date communication means. These signals decoded into messages, which could be comprehended by the receiver. To begin with, the non-electric telegraph was created in 1794 by Claude Chappe (Bellis, 2011, p. 1). The set-up was visual and made use of semaphore, a flag-based rudiment, and relied on a line of sight for passing information. This visual telegraph was then substituted by the electric telegraph. Later on in 1809, a rudimentary telegraph was devised in Bavaria by Samuel Soemmering. He made use of wires with conductors in water and the subject matter was read at the receiving end by the quantity of gas resulting from the process of electrolysis. The initial telegraph in the United States was made up by Harrison Dyar in 1828. His invention involved sending electrical flashes all the way through chemically treated paper tape to flame spots and dashes. At around the same period in 1825, British William Sturgeon came up with a development that laid the grounds for a significant advancement in electronic communications. This was the electromagnet. By use of the electromagnet, Joseph Henry revealed how it could be utilized in long distance communication through the conveyance of an electronic flow over a mile of wire to set off an electromagnet, which resulted in a bell to strike. In 1837, two British physicists, William Cooke and Charles Wheatstone copyrighted the Cooke and Wheatstone telegraph by applying the theory of electromagnetism. After this, Samuel Morse effectively made the most of the electromagnet and improved on Joseph Henry’s innovation. The invention that Morse came up with became a realistic and business success. He made use of pounds of current to draw away an electromagnet, which shifted a marker to turn out written codes on a piece of paper. This marked the invention of Morse code. From here, the telegraph lines began spreading mainly along railroads. Sending out trains by use of telegraph began in 1851, the year in which Western Union st
