FW: Morse Code vs. Text Messaging
On Oct. 20, 2008 Jay Leno had text messaging and morse code go toe-to-toe against each other. Leno had two young guys and two old guys pair up to send the exact same message.

Morse code won. The old guy was using a “bug” (just requires a side wise tap) rather than pressing a key, but that was what was used “in the old days” if the sender was any good. A really good operator could carry a line or so of code in his head before transmitting.
