How did the creation of the Panama Canal and the invention of the telegraph shrink the world and therefore change the course of history?
Kharrima
Before the Panama Canal was built it use to take about 14 days longer to cover the same distance effectively that the Panama canal covered, by going the long way around south america. So after it was built goods were able to be moved much quicker than before.
The telegraph made communication much faster. Before it you had to write letters and wait for it to arrive, now communication was speeded up and news traveled much faster, and more reliably. When both of these things were invented, efficiency was greatly increased, buisness demand went up and Capatalism prospered, the world has not been the same before or since...but for better or for worse??

Because, during the days of creation, there were no races, or people of different color.

Who invented stock sticker?
It was Edward A Calehan who invented the first stock telegraph in the year 1867. But prior to what Calehan had invented, in 1794, a non-electric telegraph was invented by Claude Chappe which was used as visual system. Calehan was actually working for the American telegraph Company when Calehan's invention of the stock telegraph was invented in the year 1867.

History speaks more about Calehan as the man who invented stock ticker though Thomas Edision had tried the invention years younger to he invented the electric bulb. Hope this helps.
