A The idea of electricalcommunication seems to have begun as long ago as 1746, when about 200 monks atmonastery in Paris arranged themselves in a line over a mile long, each holdingends of 25ft ironwires. The abbot, also a scientist, discharged a Leiden jar (a primitiveelectrical battery) into the wire, giving all the monks a simultaneouselectrical shock. "This all sounds very silly, but is in fact extremelyimportant because, firstly, they all said 'ow' which showed that you weresending a signal right along the line; and, secondly, they all said 'ow' at thesame time, and that meant that you were sending the signal very quickly,"explains Tom Standage, author of the Victorian Internet and technology editorat the Economist. Given a more humane detection system, this could be a way ofsignaling over long distances.

B With wars in Europe and colonies beyond,such a signalling system was urgently needed. All sorts of electricalpossibilities were proposed, some of them quite ridiculous. Two Englishmen, WilliamCooke and Charles Wheatstone came up with a system in which dials were made topoint at different letters, but that involved five wires and would have beenexpensive to construct.

C Much simpler was that of an American,Samuel Morse, whose system only required a single wire to send a code of dotsand dashes. At first, it was imagined that only a few highly skilled encoderswould be able to use it but it soon became clear that many people could becomeproficient in Morse code. A system of lines strung on telegraph poles began tospread in Europe and America.

D The next problem was to cross the ain, as an island with an empire, led the way. Any such cable had to beinsulated and the first breakthrough came with the discovery that a rubber-likelatex from a tree on the Malay peninsula could do the trick. It was calledgutta-percha. The first attempt at a cross channel cable came in 1850. Withthin wire and thick installation, it floated and had to be weighed down withlead pipe.

E It never worked well as the effect ofwater on its electrical properties was not understood, and it is reputed that aFrench fishermen hooked out a section and took it home as a strange new form ofseaweed. The first transatlantic cable fared little better. Neither Cyrus WField, the entrepreneur behind the project, nor his chief engineer, EdwardWhitehouse, knew much about electricity. The cable was too big for a singleboat so two had to start in the middle of the Atlantic, join their cables andsail in opposite directions. Amazingly, they succeeded in 1858, and thisenabled Queen Victoria to send a telegraph message to President ver, the 98-word message took more than 19 hours to send and a misguidedattempt to increase the speed by increasing the voltage resulted in failure ofthe line a week later.

F By 1870, a submarine cable was headingtowards Australia. It seemed likely that it would come ashore at the northernport of Darwin from where it might connect around the coast to Queensland andNew South Wales. It was an undertaking more ambitious than spanning an ks of sheep had to be driven with the 400 workers to provide food.

They needed horses and bullock carts and,for the parched interior, camels. In the north, tropical rains left the teamsflooded. In the centre, it seemed that they would die of thirst. One criticalsection in the red heart of Australia involved finding a route through theMcDonnell mountain range and then finding water on the other side.

G The water was not only essential for theconstruction team. There had to be telegraph repeater stations every fewhundred miles to boost the signal and the staff obviously had to have a supplyof water. Just as one mapping team was about to give up and resort to drinkingbrackish water, some aboriginals took pity on them. Altogether, 40,000telegraph poles were used in the Australian overland wire. Some were cut fromtrees. Where there were no trees, or where termites ate the wood, steel poleswere imported.

H On Thursday, August 22, 1872, theoverland line was completed and the first messages could be sent across thecontinent; and within a few months, Australia was at last in direct contactwith England via the submarine cable, too. The line remained in service tobring news of the Japanese attack on Darwin in 1942. It could cost severalpounds to send a message and it might take several hours for it to reach itsdestination on the other side of the globe, but the world would never be sameagain. Governments could be in touch with their colonies. Traders could sendcargoes based on demand and the latest prices. Newspapers could publish newsthat had just happened and was not many months old. And individuals could, forthe first time, exchange almost instant messages with their friends and familyon different continents. The information age began not in the late 20th Centurybut the mid-19th.
