MORSE CODE

Morse code was invented way back in 1836,

when Samuel Morse, along withJoseph Henry and
Alfred Vail, invented an electrical telegraph
system. Before telephones were invented, it
could send messages over long distances by
using pulses of electricity to signal a machine to
make marks on a moving paper tape.The reason
it was made was so you could understand the
pulses.
