The surprising connection between Barcodes and Morse code!
Did you know the ubiquitous barcode, gracing everything from ID cards to groceries, owes its inspiration to a much older communication system – Morse code?
Norman Joseph Woodland, a co-inventor of the barcode, was struck by the simplicity and efficiency of Morse code's dots and dashes. He translated this concept into a system of thin and wide black bars, creating a machine-readable code for faster identification and information retrieval.
This clever connection between seemingly unrelated technologies highlights the power of creative thinking!
Here at Prime Prints, we're constantly inspired by such ingenuity, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in print.
