Morse Coders Beat SMSers

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the wheel-reinvented dept.

dgnicholson writes "Jay Leno did a text off between two text messengers and two Morse coders. The Morse coders handily beat the young whippersnappers with time to spare. It might be a fun phone app to make a Morse code messenger, if you kept your headset in and had an external sender, could be interesting. Perhaps a Morse code Skype device."

    Granted, but let's see them repeat the experiment with a device that has a full keyboard on it.

    Or what about get the guy holding the SMS device (phone) to type in a specially crafted 10 digit number allowing a two way audio connection between two devices.

    Every person on the planet has a wife, sister or mother than can talk faster than 250+ WPM.
