My pleasure Kathy. I find these little searches not only irresistible, but great fun as well.

I suspect they already know a lot about it, assuming they’ve seen all the Star Wars films…snow caves, furry white monsters, and the like…

Not that long ago I had to explain to a group of young’uns how a dial phone works!!! ....... Jeeesh!
I saw something in print or on line the other day about Boy Scouts earning a badge for morse code. They probably have to research what the telegraph is / was, first?

Not necessarily. Morse code can also be transmitted by flashing light, flag, air horn or whistle, even (for simple messages) smoke signals.
Yes, I know. I was just taking Richard’s example of rapidly obsolescent technology a step further back. None of your examples is unknown to scouts, today….
Morse code? I’m sure kids can get a cell phone app for that now.
