Inventors often work to find faster, more efficient ways of completing a task. How did Samuel F.B. Morse use his artistic ingenuity to create a more efficient telegraph machine?

Answer 1

Samuel F.B. Morse invented the telegraph machine in the early 1800s. Morse was an artist and knew that the human eye could process visual information more quickly than it could process written words. So, to create a more efficient telegraph machine, Morse designed a code that could be transmitted using electrical signals. This code used a series of dots and dashes (called "Morse Code") to represent letters and numbers. By using this code, messages could be sent and received much more quickly than by writing them out by hand. Morse's artistic ingenuity and understanding of how the human brain processes information helped him create a more efficient and effective telegraph machine.
