Positives

• Helped people communicate

• It was a secret to enemies
• Lives were saved because of it
• Sailers were in less danger
Negatives
• The titanic sank because people thought it was
meant to be unsinkable, so the messages were
ignored
• It took quite a lot of time to decode
 Overall I think the electrical telegraph was a great
Conclusion invention because it helped people all over the world
communicate in a way that was secret for a period of
time. It also helped people on boats say that they
were in trouble (like they were sinking).
