"Le jour viendra où les fils télégraphiques seront installés dans les maisons tout comme l'eau ou le gaz."

Simplified Meaning:

People will begin to have telegraph wires brought directly to their homes, similar to how utilities like water and gas are already provided. Imagine in the past when every home didn't have these basic services. When water pipes and gas lines were first installed, it transformed daily living, making things more convenient and efficient. In the same way, telegraph wires will connect homes, allowing people to send and receive messages quickly without going to a telegraph office. This change will make communication much easier, just as it became easier to get water from a faucet rather than carrying it from a well. For example, today we have the internet and phones in almost every home, which help us stay connected with others instantly. By applying this idea, just as people adapted to having these utilities, families can adopt new technologies to improve their lives, staying informed and in touch with loved ones more readily.
