In 1836, American [ ] (INVENT) Samuel Morse (1791–1872) developed a code (later called Morse code) for sending messages by telegraph in which each letter of the alphabet was represented by a unique [ ] (COMBINE) of short pulses (dots) and long pulses (dashes). Letters that were used frequently (such as "E") were given a simple code, while letters that were used less frequently (such as "Q") were given a longer and more complex code.
On May 24, 1844, Samuel Morse sent the first long-distance telegraph message in the United States over a new line from Washington to Baltimore. It was a [ ] (BIBLE) message written in his own Morse code, "What Hath God wrought?". It reached its [ ] (DESTINED) in seconds. This experiment meant that instant [ ] (COMMUNICATE) had arrived.
