I saw a program on TV last week about the invention of the telegraph and of course Morse Code.

If you think about it, using dots and dashes to create letters thus words was a real precursor to modern computers using binary code.

Morse is a lost art which makes it dangerous again, most people could not copy it BUT you just feed it into a computer now and it will break the code fore you and print it on the screen

They are related. I hold an Extra class license with Element 1. Morse/binary style systems go back nearly to the time of Jesus.
