The telegram had many pioneers. The tool was first used by regional telegram companies. They were run through smaller areas and were not connected nationwide. The telegram was still used less than the postal system because they needed to send messages to places used by other telegram companies so they wouldn't be able to use a telegram. When the telegram companies were bought out nationwide by the Western Union Telegram company, it became much more popular. This is where you see the critical mass takes its role. It becomes popularized and gained impact across the nation. We reach the point of maturation around World War One and Two. We see the telegram used by the military and the government because of its convenience and ease. It reaches its saturation point when phone lines became easy to use and install, and by the time computers came around, it was experiencing its long tail phase. Telegram was discontinued as a communication tool and transitioned to a finance company. It went full circle to another completely different industry.
