À propos de ce contenu audio

The Victorian Internet tells the colorful story of the telegraph's creation and remarkable impact and of the visionaries, oddballs, and eccentrics who pioneered it, from eighteenth-century French scientist Jean-Antoine Nollet to Samuel F. B. Morse and Thomas Edison. The electric telegraph nullified distance and shrank the world quicker and further than ever before or since, and its story mirrors and predicts that of the Internet in numerous ways.

Le plus pertinent
This well written an and well researched book describes the rather poorly known evolution of the telegraph in the 19th century and of its impact on society. The parallel with the current Internet revolution is clear but by no means overly underscored.

Substantial but easy to read and not too long, this work will be of interest to all concerned with technology and history.

Worthwhile!
