Re: Interesting speed test
boomer, you are missing the point. The entire thought of this thread is that old technologies can be competitive with modern technology. Besides, to disregard the historical Morse code is to forget one's roots.
I honestly don't know where my family is from. I don't care either. To me, my roots are that of the Morse, Archimedes, Einstein, and Descartes. Any person that has dramatically changed the history of man deserves a spot in the history that he has changed.
As a fellow mentor, I believe it is our job to not only prepare students for the future. But to also to teach them a deep respect for the past. I sincerely hope that this message is passed on to all the students of FIRST.
Note: I am sure I have no biological tie to any of the great minds mentioned.
