TELEXES Meaning and
Definition
-
Telexes, in the context of communication, refers to a method of transmitting written messages from one location to another electronically through a teleprinter network. It is a telegraphy-based technology that gained popularity in the mid-20th century as an efficient means of global communication, especially in business and official correspondence.
Telexes rely on teleprinters, also known as teletypewriters, which are electromechanical devices used to send and receive text-based messages. The sender would type the message on a teleprinter, and through a series of electrical pulses or tones, the message would be transmitted to the recipient's teleprinter at a distant location. The received message would be automatically printed on paper, allowing quick and easy communication between parties separated by vast distances.
Telexes offered several advantages over traditional telegraphy systems. Firstly, they provided near-instantaneous communication, eliminating the need for time-consuming and costly manual delivery. Additionally, telex networks were capable of transmitting messages internationally, facilitating global business communication. Telexes were widely used for exchanging orders, invoices, official letters, news, and other important information.
However, with the rapid advancements in modern communication technologies, telex usage began to decline in the late 20th century and has now become relatively obsolete. Fax machines, email, and other digital messaging platforms have largely replaced telexes, offering even faster and more convenient means of communication. Although telexes are no longer widely used, they remain a significant part of the history of telecommunication and played a crucial role in connecting the world during an era when advanced digital communication was yet to emerge.
