The concept of instant communication was pioneered by Samuel Morse's telegraph in 1844, which sent the first long-distance message, but it wasn't until the 1970s that email and early chat systems made it accessible to the masses—now, platforms like Twitter process over 500 million tweets daily, equivalent to a small city's worth of instant thoughts shared every 24 hours.
