Historical Background
Morse code was invented by Samuel Morse in 1836 and was originally used for telegraph communication. It was the first practical encoding system capable of long-distance communication and had a profound impact on the development of human communication technology. Although modern communication technology is highly advanced, Morse code still plays an important role in certain special situations.
