When Samuel Morse sent the first telegraph message in 1844, he had an eye for drama, tapping out "What hath God wrought" on a line from Washington, DC to Baltimore, Maryland, US.

On 29 October 1969, two scientists established a connection between computers some 350 miles away and started typing a message. Halfway through, it crashed.

In hindsight, what hath God wrought, might have been an appropriate opening message for those guys as well.

Lots of examples like that throughout history. It was actually Nikola Tesla that invented radio. He was the first to transmit a radio signal over the air. But he considered it a failure because he wanted the ability to distribute or transmit electricity using it.

Nikola Tesla was brilliant and a visionary. But that’s one thing he got wrong. He didn’t understand the implications of what he invented.

It was Guglielmo Marconi that realized the potential of radio. You could use it to communicate over vast differences. At that time, radio was more transformational for society than the internet was in the 90s.
