telegram history since 1844 transmitted by morse or teleprinter, the romance of the telegram, how the text of a delivered telegram invoked such different feelings, how the telegram's popularity was paramount with wedding telegrams, birthday telegrams, christmas telegrams which were presented on special commemorative telegram forms, and how the arrival of the telegram messenger boy would either be welcomed or feared by the delivery of a black-edged telegram envelope.

In modern times they basically don't. However, traditionally the letters in a telegram were transmitted as electronic pulses. Typically short and long pulses formed letters in Morse code. These were most often transmitted over wires, but could also be sent via radio waves. Once received an operator would decode the message, which was typically printed on a yellow paper tape that was affixed to a yellow-colored form. These were usually delivered directly to their recipients via messengers.
Today the technology is largely obsolete, as the same messages can be delivered more efficiently and cheaply by phone, fax, or e-mail. Companies that formerly provided telegram service mostly conduct their business today via the internet.
