Does anyone remember Morse code? That series of beeps – beeps – beeeeeeps (dot – dot – dash) used in telecommunications for 160 years, until its definitive retirement in the 1990s?
Go watch this fun animation that plays on putting Beethoven in Morse code. This has a historical reference, by the way, because during World War II, BBC broadcasts to occupied France began with the first four notes of the 5th because the famous F-F-F-D was dot-dot-dot-dash, which in Morse was V, for victory.
