[WISPA] Senate Bill

[Robert West]

That brings me back to a thought I had a few months back.  Text messaging.
It's been proven that a person using Morse code to enter a text message will
beat someone using normal text entry.  But with that, isn’t text messaging
pretty much the same type of thing as sending in Morse?  We went from Morse
to voice and it was a big improvement but now it's retro and we're back to
the text.  So my thought was, coming up with a phone that would do semaphore
and then after that caught on, go for smoke signals then later still, the
cell phone could tell my kid to run down the street and give my message in
person.  At that point there would be no need for the cell phone and we
could charge for the luxury of not having one.


I also have too much time on my hands, or so the wife tells me.

I guess one might say that was the original concept. I suppose smoke
signals would qualify as well. Or maybe a bottle with a note cast into
the sea? LOL!
