Morse is Trinary. Telegraph is binary. You have two states:
On
Off
Just like any osi model, the telegraph hardware and signals and routing would be the low part of the model (pysical, data-link, network) and the morse and operator would be the upper half (application, presentation, session, transport). Morse is just a protocol that uses the telegraph system, just as ip is just a protocol that uses modern day networks.
Hell, it takes my computer almost a minute to even get to software loading. First I have my video bios init, then the scsi bios init, then the raid bios init, and then the motherboard bios init, and with a gb of ram, it takes a while to count it. In fact, it takes longer to count to a gig in megabyte blocks than my 486 did in kilobyte blocks... By the time winblows even STARTS to load, I've already lost interest and have sarted watching tv.
Okay, YOU try remembering f00f:dcc3:b489:2ad5:cd00:39ae when you try to call dominoes! Even i you anaged to get a nationwide phone network all using ipv6 addressing, and decided to use one fill class for telephony, and therefore implied the first one or two tetrets in all telephony dials you'd still have to remember the other 4 or 5 of the tetrets! Moreover, you'd need new fones or find a retromod for existing ones to make them compatible with the network, like having to dial 46217*10965*52480*14766 to call your neigbor!
Of course, once we start doing that, we'll get ip-happy. Before you know it, the post office will change their addressing scheme to ip-v6! There won't be any more zip codes (YAY!). On the other hand, there won't be anymore street names, and towns will just be represented by a unique tetret within a class a network! The credit card companies will convert to ipv6; not with any benefit - they just felt left out! And it will all culminate with the us. government switching social security to IPv6. Every person in america will be given their own IP for the sole purpose of geographical tracking. Bio-electrical GPS tranxievers will be inserted into us after we relize that our celphones phones have had them for years and we shun them for fear of bigbrother!
IT WILL HAPPEN AS I HAVE PREDICTED!! CITIES WILL CRUMBLE!! MEN AND WOMEN WILL PERISH BAEZELBUB SHAL WALK AMONG US WITH IMPUNITY!!! BEWARE!!! THE END OF The...the....

... uhhh... sorry. I forgot to take my medicine this morning and the lack of stimulation at work seems to have pushed meover the edge.
