To most of us it’s just a flurry of dots and dashes or a series of repetitive beeps, but historically speaking Morse code has been a very important means of communicating.

Named after co-developer Samuel F. B. Morse, this method of transmitting text information through a series of on-off tones, lights or clicks to be decoded and understood by the receiver has been used in many different ways since its inception. For example, it has been used in times of war, in the aviation industry, in amateur radio and for assisting people with disabilities to communicate.

Take a look at the graphic below to see how the English alphabet is represented in Morse code.
