Morse Code as Brain Food?

27morse.600.jpg

Today's New York Times has two interesting articles that really should go together. The first, on the Business page, is about the fate of Morse Code. The other is on the front page and deals with programs being used to exercise the brains of the elderly - brain calisthenics - as a way to stave off memory loss and dementia.

Well, put the two together. We all should be learning and practicing Morse code! Great way to keep the brain excercised and healthy, and it could save a life. There are recorded cases of people, unable to speak due to sudden stroke, who can communicate by Morse code! Like the Heimlich maneuver, is could be something we all should be proficient in.
