His invention changed the world for the good. *could Sam Morse be
considered as the first true internet communicator?


He was a talented man. He was a pretty good artist, He started
attending Yale (really, not like Harry) at the age of 14, and earned
money while there by painting portraits of classmates and educators.
He was later appointed professor of painting and sculpture at the
Universisty of New York City.


Now THAT I didn't know.

Truely he was extremely gifted.


I get all geeked out about inventions and inventors. Have since I was
a kid. My father liked Ford products, so I read everything and
anything I could about Henry Ford!
