Braille
Braille is writing system which enables blind and partially sighted people to read and write through touch. It was invented by Louis Braille (1809-1852), who was blind and became a teacher of the blind. It consists of patterns of raised dots arranged in cells of up to six dots in a 3 x 2 configuration. Each cell represents a letter, numeral or punctuation mark. Some frequently used words and letter combinations also have their own single cell patterns.
Braille alphabet
These letters are arranged to show how they are related: the middle row is the same as the top row with an extra dot in the bottom left corner. The bottom row is the same as the middle row with extra dot in the bottom right corner. W was an afterthought and doesn't fit this scheme, as Braille was invented for French and W is rarely used in French. http://www.omniglot.com/writing/braille.htm
Morse Code
The Morse Code can be used to transmit messages in English and many other languages. For languages not written with the Latin alphabet other versions of Morse Code are used. There are versions of Morse Code for the Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic and Hebrew alphabets, and for Japanese a version known as Wabun Code (和文モールス符号), which maps kana syllables to specific codes, is used.
I have looked at the morse code as its an action which humans take to communicate with each other if they have any sort of hearing problems. I find that this could come in useful in some good ideas.
Samuel Morse—the artist who invented the Morse codeDecember 1, 1990
Samuel Finley Breese Morse was bom in Charlestown, Massachusetts, on Wednesday April 27, 1791. This was some 70 years before Darwin’s theory of evolution did any damage to general acceptance of creation.
Samuel was the eldest of three sons born to Dr. Jedediah Morse, a well-known clergyman and author of geography books. The well-to-do family had high expectations of their sons. The boys were educated at a Christian boarding school, and then at Yale College. As part of his studies at Yale, Samuel saw demonstrations of electricity, which at that stage had not been put to any useful purpose. He also experimented with a camera obscura—a primitive forerunner of the photographic camera. However, the image made by the camera obscura was only temporary. Samuel’s real interest though was in drawing, and he began to develop his talents in his spare time. Unfortunately, Samuel’s father believed that being an artist was not a suitable occupation for a gentleman. http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/cm/v13/n1/samuel-morse Phonetic Alphabetwww.phonetic-Alphabet.org.uk.
