“di/dot or 1/0 is all binary” Yep, when you think about it our internet communcations are using something very much like morse code.

Actually it is a direct descendant ...Morse code evolved in to 5 bit teletype code...teletype code evolved in to 7 bit ASCII and 8 bit EBCDIC ...

Bottom line the first "two state"/binary electronic encoding for transmission/transport of data was Morse

And the Internet is just that a data transmission/transport system...

PC's process data ...the Internet is mass hi-speed transports of data for PC's to have something to process

Invented (mainly) by Jean-Maurice-Émile Baudot and his lovely granddaughter Brigitte.
