Basics
It may be hard to believe, but the technology that goes into your little cell phone began over 150 years ago with a botched attempt at telegraph transmission. In 1842, Samuel Morris placed wires between two New York cities—Castle Garden and Governor’s Island. Part of this area was under water. Before he could demonstrate his ideas, a ship passed by and destroyed the cables. But Morris went on and transmitted anyway, and proved that his electrical signals would pass through water.
