Amaya Toman Nowadays, interpersonal communication at a distance has a completely different form than it did in the mid-nineteenth century, but the inventions of that time have their undeniable historical value. One of the inventions that greatly contributed to the development of communication is the telegraph service, which we will recall in our today's return to the past. In addition, we also recall the start of work on the LINC computer.

First telegraph service (1844)
On May 24, 1844, Samuel Morse sent his first telegram in Morse code. The message was sent by line from Washington DC to Baltimore, authored by Anna Ellsworth - the daughter of Morse's friend and government patent attorney, who was the first to report to Morse that his telegraph patent had been successfully approved. The message read "What hath God wrought?" It didn't take long for telegraph lines to spread not only across the United States, but around the world.

Beginning of work on the LINC computer (1961)
On May 24, 1961, Clark Begins from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) began working on the LINC computer (abbreviation for Laboratory Instrument Computer) at the Lincoln Laboratory of the same institute. Begins planned to build a computer that could be used in biomedical research, boasting easy programming and simple maintenance, the ability to directly process biotechnological signals, and communicate while in use. In his work, Begins used his previous development experience Whirlwind computers or perhaps TX-0. The machine created by Begins eventually went down in history as one of the early examples of user-friendly computers.
