If you were wondering why the heck my title is filled with the dots and dashes, you're just imagining it... kakaka... so much for a spur moment of a lame joke.. the dots and dashes are actually "SOS" in Morse Code.
Some interesting information that I thought I might wanna share with you all for the sake of passing my time... So, here it is.. the Morse Code facts, taken from the
Wikipedia.
"Morse Code is a method for transmitting information, using standardized sequences of short and long marks or pulses -- commonly known as "dots and dashes". Originally created for
Samuel Morse's electric
telegraph in the mid-1830s, it was also extensively used for early
radio communication beginning in the 1890s.
Morse Code can be transmitted in a number of ways: originally as electrical pulses along a telegraph wire, but also as an audio tone, as a radio signal with short and long pulses or tones, or as a mechanical or visual signal (e.g. a flashing light). Because Morse Code is transmitted using just two states -- on and off -- it was an early form of a digital code.
However, the variable length of the Morse characters made it hard to adapt to automated communication, so it was largely replaced by more standardized formats, including the
Baudot code and
ASCII. Morse's original code specification, largely limited to use in the United States, became known as Railroad or
American Morse code, and is now very rarely used.
Note: The short and long elements of Morse Code have traditionally been referred to as "dots" and "dashes". However, a later convention developed which reflects the sound of audio transmissions, and refers to dashes as "dah", and dots as "di", unless the dot is the final symbol in the character, in which case it is voiced as "dit".

Until then, adios!
