464: Iron Key

Gmail Tap Parody, Morse Code Keyboards and Samuel Morse

A 2011 Google April Fools' prank called "Gmail Tap," featuring LL Cool J, inspired actual Morse code keyboard applications now available on the Google Play Store. These apps allow users to text using only "dits" and "das," which is suggested as a safer way to communicate while driving. The segment also notes that Samuel Morse, the inventor of the telegraph, was a prominent American oil painter.
