As Google traditionally does on holidays or special events, they theme their famous homepage logo with an artisitc (and usually witty) doodle. I’ve always found it easy to identify what event is depicted based on the picture, but today’s doodle is a bit of a head scratcher. Can you make out what it is?
It’s in honour of Samuel Finley Breese Morse, the inventor of the single wire telegraph, who was born on April 27, 1791. Morse code is a method of transmitting long-distance messages over electrical wires by translating alphabets into a combination of dots and dashes (hence the dashes and dots instead of the normal logo).
Apart from reminding us of special holidays we tend to easily forget, Google are also playing a part in helping us learn about important figures and events in history. Kudos to them for that and I hope they keep them coming.
