Telegrams will meet its death
 
"144 years after Samuel Morse sent the first telegram in Washington,
the world’s final telegram will be sent in India on July 14, 2013."

[...]

""We were incurring losses of over $23 million a year because SMS and
smartphones have rendered this service redundant," said Shamim Akhtar,
general manager of BSNL's telegraph services. The agency did not say
what the contents of the final message would be.
