Morse Code
The morse code developed by Samuel Morse revolutionized communication. The telegraph was born at a time when few grasped even remotely what electric current was, let alone what it might do. The telegraph was a landmark in human development from which there could be no retreat. For the first time messages could routinely travel great distances faster than man or beast could carry them. The dots and dashes of this code helped prevent countless disasters and were the carriers of good news across oceans and time zones. The morse code is no longer used internationally but it’s value in furthering communications has been unquestionably immense.
