    Samuel Finley Breese Morse (1791-1872) was an American inventor and painter. After a successful career
    painting in oils (first painting historical scenes and then portraits), Morse built the first American telegraph
    around 1835 (the telegraph was also being developed independently in Europe).
    A telegraph sends electrical signals over a long distance, through wires. Morse patented a working telegraph
    machine in 1837, with help from his business partners Leonard Gale and Alfred Vail. By 1838, Morse could
    send 10 words per minute. Congress provided funds for building a telegraph line between Washington D.C. and
    Baltimore, Maryland, in 1843. Morse sent the first telegraphic message (from Washington D.C. to Baltimore) on
    May 24, 1844; the message was: "What hath God wrought?" The telegraph revolutionized long-distance
    communications.
    In 2005, the Powerhouse Museum of Sydney, Australia, held a contest between two elderly telegraph operators
    using Morse code and two teenagers using text messaging on their mobile phones. The telegraph operators beat
    them handily, despite their not using any texting abbreviationsand being 93 years old.
