Inventors often work to find faster, more efficient ways of completing a task. How did Samuel F.B. Morse use his artistic ingenuity to create a more efficient telegraph machine?

Question

(1 point)
O by using higher-quality wires
• by using more wires and background objects
• by using fewer wires
• by using stronger wires

Answer 1

Samuel F.B. Morse used his artistic ingenuity to create a more efficient telegraph machine by using fewer wires. By developing the Morse code, a system of dots and dashes representing letters and numbers, Morse was able to send messages using a simpler and more efficient method than previous telegraph systems that required multiple wires for each letter. This innovation greatly improved the speed and ease of communication over long distances.
