Honorable Mentions.(Communication)

Sending messages back then wasn't very easy. Today we can exchange messages in a matter of seconds. Emails, text messages, social networks, you name it all, thats how we're used to getting messages to people. Back in the 1800s, I would picture sending letters and such had to be the most aggravating thing. Simply cause the time that it would take to send a letter could range anywhere from 3 to 5 weeks. Alot can change in that period of time so the letter might not even be relevant anymore.
      Around 1837 things started to take a major change. Samuel B. Morse came up with a way of communication through morse code. Through this he basically could rely information through electrical lines. As this system began to grow and as the railroads began to grow, telegraph wires were beginning to get attached to railway poles. This stretched the way of communication by far. 
     Roughly 36 years later, communication took an even bigger step. Alexander Grahm Bell found a way to transmit voices without wires and cables, this was called a bell phone or a telephone. He worked on his invention for sometime, and eventually successfully got it to work. Years after his invention was created, there was about 1 million phones across the nation in peoples houses.

     Through that same year came another yet amazing invention. The typewritter Christopher Sholes who was a Milwaukee printer wanted to find a to way to create a typing machine. Through trial and error Sholes worked until he was successful. His invention soon changed the way in which people sent messages.
