薩慕爾‧摩斯 (Samuel
F.B. Morse) 發送出第一個電報訊息
1844年5月24日
第一個電報訊息是什麼呢？1844年5月24日，薩慕爾‧摩斯透過一條連接華盛頓特區與巴爾地摩的實驗線路，成功發送了一則電報訊息：「上帝作了些什麼？」這是從聖經箴言第23章第23節所摘錄出來的，並且被登錄在紙帶之上。摩斯聽從他一位朋友的女兒安妮‧愛爾沃茲 (Annie
Ellworth) 的建議，而選擇了這一句話。這個實驗的成功，永遠改變了整個國家的通訊系統。但是摩斯有興趣的，卻不只是電報而已。
What was the first telegraph message? Sent by inventor Samuel F.B. Morse on May 24, 1844, over an experimental line from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore, the message said: "What hath God wrought?" Taken from the Bible, Numbers 23:23, and recorded on a paper tape, the phrase had been suggested to Morse by Annie Ellworth, the young daughter of a friend. The success of the experiment would change forever the national communication system. But Morse wasn't just interested in the telegraph.
