<font class="bodycopy">Wherever people could apply the telegraph, they did—and it profoundly changed everything it was applied to. Now, the public could consult timely weather reports and forecasts. Governments could coordinate moving armies and supplies over great distances. The tempo of commerce and manufacturing speeded up. New feats of large-scale logistics became feasible. Work became both easier and harder. Old competitive advantages vanished, as new ones based on use and control of telegraphic networks emerged.</font></td>
