When communications technology and functionality meet
Happy Birthday Mr. Morse. Sam Morse was born today in 1791. This gent is of course one of the pioneers of communications who invented the standard "Morse Code" which is still in use today. This technology revolutionized communications and brought the time it took for important information to be relayed from months/weeks to minutes.
WIth the advent of radio communications, Morse Code was used to enable communications around the globe. Morse gave way to telephony and now, VoIP where voice is now digitized and sent across the network as packets of information. But you can still get a good Morse key and try your hand at the code if your are interested...
Now that essentially everything is digital, you can do all sorts of things with communication packets before they get where they are supposed to go. For example, check this out: MakeYourselfSick.com
This is a WebSite where you can leave yourself a message, add various effects (such as hospital noises, coughs, sneezes etc.) and then have it send an SMS or Voicemail to someone else. The applications are endless...
You gotta love it, 250 years of technology innovation and finally something the masses can relate to.
This is something which I would like to give a try and certainly this will help people as for the first time people are directly linked to innovation thanks to "Morse"
