“So’s another seemingly obsolete communications method: Morse code.”

Semaphore, I can see calling that obsolete, but Morse code? Even if only for emergency purposes, Morse code is so useful I doubt it will ever be obsolete.

Speaking of semaphores, there was in Europe, starting around the Napoleonic era, a system of towers and lever-controlled flags that could transmit a message from the French coast to Paris in about an hour.

Leaned it in the navy so I could understand the signalmen during U reps. Some of those guys are wicked fast

"I wouldn’t be surprised if doctors start promoting cigarettes for 'lung health.'"

Only the menthol kind.

As a callow midshipman back in the 70s I was required to know Morse.

[ExCTCitizen]

I did that badge when I was in Scouting...
