1859The Atlantic cable of 1858 was established to carry instantaneous
communications across the ocean for the first time. Although the laying of this
first cable was seen as a landmark event in society, it was a technical
failure. It only remained in service a few days.
Subsequent cables
laid in 1866 were completely successful and compare to events like the moon
landing of a century later... the cable ... remained in use for almost 100
years.
