Title: : The Remarkable Story of the Telegraph and the Nineteenth Century's On-line Pioneers Author: Tom Standage Publish date: September 18, 2007 Format: PDF Language: English Size: 17,2 MB ISBN-10: 0802716040 Description: Very easy book to read (did it in a long night). Book makes premise that in the whirlwind of Internet hype and how it's revolutionizing our world, this all first happened a hundred years ago when the Telegraph was invented. Ironically, Morse had a hard time convincing the initial trials. It was also first seen as a play toy, an oddity. However soon applications came to be and governments, news, business, and personal lives were changed by this first major advance in communications in hundreds of years (likely since the printing press). When reading about the chapter on how commerce was changed because cross-atlantic orders could be transmitted in a day rather than weeks. Business people became obsessed with keeping up with the new demands for fear of competition(They lived in "Internet Time"). How the first major application in business was transmitting stock quotes (this sound familiar?). The book makes the premise that in this 'new internet age', we've seen it all before. To that it does a good job in a quick entertaining read. Download:
