wireless technology. Many students enjoy learning and transmitting in =20=
morse code--it is especially exciting for younger students who are =20
intrigued by "codes" of all kinds. Morse code is still used in =20
amateur radio communication.
It is certainly true that most students today do not know morse code--=20=
but that was also the case when I was in school in the 1950's.
Technology has evolved dramatically in the last few decades, but the =20
fundamentals of human communication have not. I would agree that "new =20=
technologies... do not replace existing forms of =20
communication.....they enhance or add on to them."
