Innovation and Transformation Throughout the World.

Hey readers! Today I'll be writing about what innovation I believe has most transformed the world, and why.

In my opinion, the telegraph is one of the most important innovations in human history. This invention not only changed communication for life as we know it, but it also made a breakthrough in human technology. With the ability to send messages quickly across wide expanses, a great impact was made on government, banking, industry, trade, news media, warfare, and several other areas. The telegraphy truly formed a warehouse of information for the future. Today, billions have the ability to send a text message without even thinking about it, or to press call and talk to a family member thousands of miles away. Without this crucial invention, none of this would have been possible. The telegraph not only improved communication means, but also paved a road for new technology. Sending a letter and waiting weeks for an answer surely must have made any form of global business deals near-impossible, and situations such as communicating with a loved one at war was certainly difficult. All in all, the telegraph was an incredibly important innovation, and our world would have never made the improvements that we have today without it.
