While the telegraph itself is obsolete today, the technology that it used would ultimately lead to the development of radio and the internet. In order to understand how a new technology has emerged, it is always useful to see where it began and how it changed over the years. The telegraph was the first medium to send information over long distances within minutes. This has never been possible before-- in order to send information prior to the telegraph, the material had to be personally taken from one place and sent (usually on horseback, later by train) to the next place. This could take hours or even days.
But when the telegraph came along, information could travel from one city to another in what was then considered a short amount of time: the 1844 telegraph demonstration conducted by Samuel F.B. Morse took 20 minutes to send a message between Washington DC and Baltimore; sending a message on horseback between these two cities, in an era before super-highways, might have taken over an hour. Within a few years, the transmission time was even faster, and as more telegraph lines were built, messages could be sent over longer and longer distances. This changed the public's expectations, and soon created the demand for even faster technologies.
The most important issues in different fields that are being faced today varies. One issue that is common is the lack of available positions.

The telegraph was the first invention that allowed people to communicate rapidly at great distances. Today, we can communicate much better by telephone, or by email, etc., but when the telegraph was invented there were no phones or other such inventions.
A telegraph is used to send messages over long distances. The telegraph people are usually familiar with today does this electrically, and uses Morse Code. There were earlier telegraphs, however, that were visual and used flags, with messages being relayed from one station to the next.
The telegraph made it easier to type things down, and it also made it easier for doctors to get in touch with their patients.

It is important because the first two things to go down in an actual catastrophic disaster is the internet, cell phones, and satellite technology. Radio and telegraph are the most reliable forms of technology that will hold up in these circumstances.
