Samuel Morse
Someone once stated that “people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do”. In order to be successful, one must believe they can do anything they put their mind to. Samuel Finley Breese Morse was an inventor in the I800’s (“Science and Its Times,” 2000). Born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, Morse had turned into an inventor in the 1800’s. Samuel Finley Breese Morse’s invention of the telegraph impacted the world by providing a way to communicate over long distances, without delay. Also, lead to later developments in electrical communication.
Morse was well known for creating the telegraph and Morse code, even though he didn’t do it by himself. Morse had help from Alfred Vail, a university student whose father and brother owned an ironworks company, along with Leonard Gale, and Joseph Henry. “The telegraph sent electrical pulses of energy to signal a machine to make marks on a moving paper tape”(wonderopolis, accessed 29 Jan. 2018). The telegraph was used to interact over long distances within a short period of time. Morse code, however, was what the telegraph used to transmit messages. The name Morse is well known now, because of the telegraph and Morse code. …show more content…
Since Morse code was transmitted through a wire using electricity, the messages that were sent would travel at about 1,860 miles per second. This invention did not only provide a way to communicate, “it also led to later developments in signal transmission” (science and its times, 2001). USA and Europe used this tool to impart during WWII. Although the telegraph had to have a wire leading to where messages were to be sent, it still changed the way people could
