Yeah man, sure feels like that sometimes. It's a good skill to have actually, why not obtain it? Who doesn't want to be able to send a text message with a flashlight, pretty fucking handy to be honest man.

When I got explained for the first time about Morse by a collegue of my father, and told how they used only that for any kind of transmission back in the days I was amazed and astonished by the brewery of those man going around oceans flashing ewch other.. SOS is the first and only I learned 😅👀🫥
Yeah it's quite amazing. The guy that invented it, Samuel Morse, invented it because he got a letter when he was abroad that his wife had died, and he was grief-stricken to find out that by letter had taken so long to get to him, that by the time he had got home, his wife had already been buried.
Morse code seems to have been his memorial to his wife.
*the letter
Didn't know this story, it's such a tragic story.. but also a prove that big inventions often come from big and deep needs.. ✊🍀💜
