Samuel Morse developed the original telegraph system in the 1830s-1840s, which transmitted electrical signals along wires using Morse code. The telegraph revolutionized long-distance communication by allowing transmission of signals between stations via laid wires. It was the first electrical telecommunications system and was widely used to communicate text messages faster than physical transportation. Telegraphs worked by transmitting electrical pulses representing dots and dashes along a wire. Messages had to be manually copied and sent from station to station until reaching the recipient. Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, allowing for simultaneous transmission and reception of the human voice. The telephone provided an immediate and personal form of communication.

Telegraph and
Telephone
Telegraph
A telegraph is a communication system that sends
information by making and breaking an electrical
connection. It is most associated with sending
electrical current pulses along a wire with Morse
code encoding.
Developed in the 1830s and 1840s by Samuel Morse
and other inventors, the telegraph revolutionized
long-distance communication. It worked by
transmitting electrical signals over a wire laid
between stations.
Who invented the original telegraph?
Inventor Samuel Morse developed the telegraph system. Morse's
system sent out a signal in a series of dots and dashes, each
combination representing one letter of the alphabet (“Morse code”).
The inventor submitted a patent for his device, which he called “The
American Recording Electro-Magnetic Telegraph” in 1837.

Why did Morse invent the telegraph?


Morse was traveling to the United States from Europe on a ship when
he overheard a conversation about electromagnetism that inspired
his idea for an electric telegraph. Though he had little training in
electricity, he realized that pulses of electrical current could convey
information over wires.
Why was the first telegraph made?

It was the first electrical telecommunications


system and the most widely used of a number
of early messaging systems called telegraphs,
that were devised to communicate text
messages quicker than physical
transportation.
How do telegraph messages
work?
 Itworked by transmitting electrical signals
over a wire laid between stations. In
addition to helping invent the telegraph,
the Morse code assigned a set of dots and
dashes to each letter of the English
alphabet and allowed for the simple
transmission of complex messages across
telegraph lines.
How do telegraphs work to transmit
information in the form of waves
from one location to another?
A telegraph works by changing words or
voice into electronic signals. These signals
are then sent through a wire by switching
the current on and off or changing the
intensity of the signal. At the receiving end
the signals are changed back into letters or
speech.
How were telegraph messages
routed?
Each telegraph was wired to one
other telegraph on a single line. A
message sent that way had to be
copied down, and then re-
transmitted by hand to the next
station until it reaches the
recipient.
Telephone
 The history of the telephone chronicles the development
of the electrical telephone, and includes a brief overview
of its predecessors. The first telephone patent was
granted to Alexander Graham Bell in 1876.

What is a telephone?

 A telephone is an instrument designed for the


simultaneous transmission and reception of the human
voice. Telephones are inexpensive and simple to operate,
and they offer an immediate, personal type of
communication. Billions of telephones are in use around
the world.
When was the telephone introduced to
the public?
 One of the earliest demonstrations of the telephone occurred in
June 1876 at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia.

Who is credited as the inventor of the


telephone?
 Alexander Graham Bell is credited with developing the telephone
because he received the first patent.
 Alexander Graham Bell is most well known for inventing the
telephone. He came to the U.S as a teacher of the deaf, and
conceived the idea of “electronic speech” while visiting his hearing-
impaired mother in Canada. This led him to invent the microphone
and later the “electrical speech machine” – his name for the first
telephone.
When was the Telephone Invented?
The telephone was invented in 1876 by Alexander
Graham Bell. Bell was one of many inventors who
played a role in the creation and development of the
telephone.
What does the telephone do and why is
it important?
 It allows people to get an immediate interaction. The telephone is an
extremely valuable and important innovation because it allows for a
verbal exchange of information by conversation. People don't need to
spend a lot effort to communicate with each other. The telephone
offers a faster interaction than email, is more personal, and easy and
quick to use.
What was the idea for the
telephone?
It was through his work with the deaf and his
careful study of how sound is transmitted via
the human voice that led Bell to the invention
of the telephone. Fascinated by Samuel Morse’s
telegraph, Bell set out to use what he knew
about sound and speech to improve upon the
idea of transmitting communication.
