This Day in History: Pony Express Changes Face of Communication ...

When you send an email to a colleague how long do you expect the delivery to take ? 30 seconds? What if your message didn?t reach its destination for a month or more? This lag in communication is almost impossible to fathom in the age of smartphones, tablets and lightning fast Internet but only 153 years ago letters were transported by stage coach or ship. In 1860 William Russell, Alexander Majors, and William Waddell founded a ?fast mail service? called the Pony Express and shipped their first parcel from St. Joseph, Missouri on April 3 to Sacramento, California in a mind boggling eleven days.

The Pony Express only operated for eighteen months before it was considered unprofitable and discontinued, but the service proved that faster communication was possible. Eventually, the advancements in technology and infrastructure made it possible to communicate even more quickly than the Pony Express founders could have imagined. Email was a revolutionary invention allowing users to communicate in nearly real time, while instant messaging allows the exchange of quick notes and conversations with the snap of a finger. By implementing the most updated technology solutions, you can be sure that your business is communicating even more efficiently.
