We can call and text anyone in the world with just a tap or our finger. Over a hundred years ago people had to handwrite letters and send them in the mail. This changed thanks to Samuel F.B. Morse. He simplified the telegraph machine and invented the Morse Code.(pbs.org). Samuel Morse was an influential person who helped the world communicate easier and become more innovative.

In 1844 the line from Baltimore to Washington was complete and on May 24, 1844 Morse sent the first message saying “What hath God wrought”.(britannica.com). He got the idea for the message after a little girl told him about a Bible verse. Morse was finally able to share his invention with the world. After sharing his invention with the world it gave others ideas and allowed them to invent. Later in life Morse’s partner, Alfred Vail, improved upon Morse’s original system. In 1851 the European Nations used the original Morse Code system to make an international Morse Code that was simpler, more precise, and recognized all letters.(britannica.com/Morse-Code). This international Morse Code was used for communications during the Korean War, Vietnam War, and World War II. It was also used by the shipping industry for safety while sailors were out at sea until the early 1990’s.(britannica.com/Morse-Code). Morse had invented the electric telegraph and Morse Code for the world to use and his goal was being achieved.CONCLUSIONCommunication has come a long way from the early days. We could still be hand writing letters but instead we get to carry a mobile device that can contact anyone in the world around in our pockets. Samuel Morse can be thanked for that.
