Samuel Morse is describing the idea that if electricity can be visibly transmitted through a circuit, there is no reason to believe that intelligence or information cannot also be instantly transmitted through that same circuit. He is suggesting that information can travel as quickly and efficiently as electricity, and that the two may be fundamentally linked.

Let's Meditate,

1. How is the ideas of electricity and intelligence related?

2. What implications does this quote have for the future of communication?

3. How has technology advanced since the time of Samuel Morse, and how has this affected our ability to transmit information?
