If you went to Google today you might have been wondering what was up with the word, "GOOGLE." (Pictured above)
Well in case you never were in scouts or don't know what that image is, it's Morse Code.
You may be asking, why is Google in Morse Code?
Today, on April 27, 1791 Samuel Morse was born.
Morse is of course famous for inventing Morse Code. Morse Code is the primary language of telegraphy in the world, and is still the standard for rhythmic transmission of data.
This set of dashes and dots was originally used for the eltronic telegraph, but over time it has become the main form of communication between languages.S.O.S is perhaps the most common form of Morse Code.
Grab you're paper and a pen, here's a game for you. Decipher these three messages:
1) .--- ..- ... - ... --- - .... --- ..-. -. --- .-. - ....
2) -. --- .-. - .... . .-. -. .-. .- -. --. . .-. ...
3) .-- ... ..- ... - .. -. -.- ...
I'll have the answers tomorrow.
Morse code... still with better reception than my cell phone.
