Morse Code faster than Instant Messaging
Many young people consider email to be old and obsolete - something old fuddy-duddies like myself use. They don't email friends, they Instant Message. Email is too slow for them. But a far older technology has shown itself to be faster.
Morse Code beat Instant Messaging in a speed competition put on by an Australian Museum. A 93 year old Morse Code guy beat a teenage messaging kid.
No surprise here.
Morse Code is about the simplest form of digital communication possible. A signal, for example an audio tone going "ahhhhhhh" is modulated by turning it on and off. On and Off - that's all. Pretty Simple!
As a general rule "Simple Equals Fast" and "Simple Equals Reliable."
