Instead of a real post, check out a link for your reading enjoyment. I found it on digg, which if you’ve never heard of, Jim explains well here. Anyway, the article is courtesy of the BBC online: Wiring up the ‘Victorian Internet. A great article explaining the complications, and implications, of wiring the world with telegraph wires in 1857. Blows my mind. Check the quote from the New York Herald on April 20, 1857.

“The laying of the telegraph around the world is the great work of the age.”

While people might not consider the telegraph all that important compared to todays modern communications tools, we’d be nowhere with out those little dots and dashes.

Until next time…Courage.
