It was on this day, January 6, in the year 1838 that
Samuel Morse first demonstrated the electric telegraph. The telegraph
was perhaps the single largest step forward in telecommunication
history, in that it allowed messages to be sent electronically for the
first time. The telegraph was key in settling the west, and served as
the basis for modern communication methods."Science and art are not
opposed" - Samuel Morse.
