V. Read the following passage and answer the questions
The invention of the electric telegraph gave birth to the communications industry. Although
Samuel B. Morse succeeded in making the invention useful in 1837, it was not until 1843 that
the first telegraph line of consequence was constructed. By 1860 more than 50.000 miles of lines
connected people east of Rockies. The following year, San Francisco was added to the network.
The national telegraph network fortified the ties between East and West and contributed to the
rapid expansion of the railroads by providing an efficient means to monitor schedules and routes.
Further more, the extension of the telegraph, combined with the invention of the steam-driven
rotary printing press by Richard M. Hoe in 1846, revolutionized the world of journalism. Where
the business of news gathering had been dependent upon the mail and on hand-operated presses,
the telegraph expanded the amount of information a newspaper could supply and allowed for
more timely reporting. The establishment of the Associated Press as a central wire service in
1846 marked the advent of a new era in journalism.
