Morse code and string phone cup

1. What was different about the two methods?

2. If your string phone stretched out one block long, which method do you think would be clearer?

3. If you had a Morse code expert on both ends to act like a computer taking in information, would that make a difference?

Speed and accuracy is the difference between these methods.

Explanation:

1. The main difference between the cup method and Morse code is sound. Using the cup and string method one must speak and let his cover known in Morse code there is not tangible sound, just a series of beeps. Secondly, the cup method requires a string over a distance. Morse code is transmitted also by wire but this is a further distance and the message can get to other regions in the same time.

2. If one were using the string method to go around the block there will be limitations on how far and tightly the string may be stretched and what obstacles will be in the way. If one were to use Morse code it will undoubtedly be more convenient and clearer.

3. If there were two experts on both ends acting like a computer the information between the two persons will be quicker and faster considering they do not need to wait for information from another person which may cause a delay then.

Finally, Morse code is faster. String and cup method should be reserved for very short distances where sensitive information is not transmitted.
