Samuel Morse

By creating of the electric telegraph and unified language that managed 
to connect all four corners of our world, Samuel Morse solidified his 
place in the annals of our history. Here you can find out the story of 
his life, work, and contributions to the human race.

*Samuel Morse* (April 27, 1791 - April 2, 1872) was an American painter 
and inventor who is best remembered today for his invention of 
single-wire telegraph system and the co-inventor of the *Morse code* - 
method of transmitting textual information as a series of on and off 
tones. His discovery soon changed the way the messages are sent and 
received in the entire world, and even today Morse code is still in use 
in various areas of radio communications. Although he was considered to 
be poor during the majority of his life, he managed to live as an 
accomplished painter until he focused his interests on electromagnetism 
and electric communication.
