Samuel
F.B. Morse, who passed away on 2 April 1872, New
York, aged 80, 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.
