The Telegraph and Morse Code: More than Dots and Dashes  Objectives- A. Compare communication before and after the telegraph   B. Conclude why the telegraph was so important   Answer to objective- Before the telegraph was invented people had to communicate by using smoke signals to send signals to other towns. They also used drum beats or a Semagraph line to communicate. The telegraph was so important because it completely changed the way people communicated. It made communication much easier because things like weather would affect communication, but once the telegraph was invented, messages could be sent much faster and much more effectively.
