What Hath God Wrought?

RIP western union telegram.

May 24, 1844 – Jan 27, 2006

The company who brought us money transfers, credit cards, microwae lines, and communications satellites is no longer offering telegrams.

History is evolving. The telegram was arguably the grandfather (we all know Al Gore is the father) of the internet, and in an oedipicial way (is that a word?) It gave birth to it’s own demise. Email, Internet, and Cell phones have made it practically obsolete.

Does anybody even know morse code anymore?
