具体描述
"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 the 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.
The history of the telegraph - the men and women who made it - and its relevance to the current Internet debate Beginning with the Abbe Nollet's famous experiment of 1746, when he successfully demonstrated that electricity could pass from one end to the other of a chain of two hundred monks, Tom Standage tells the story of the spread of the telegraph and its transformation of the Victorian world. The telegraph was greeted by all the same concerns, hype, social panic and excitement that now surround the Internet, and Standage provides both a fascinating insight into the past and a context in which to think rather differently of today's concerns. Standage has a wonderful prose style and an excellent eye for the telling and engaging story. Popular history at its best.

读后感
所谓维多利亚时代的互联网，其实就是电报网。电报在1850年代被发明出来，第二个十年大西洋海底电缆就铺通了，从此全世界被链接为一个整体，伦敦和纽约变得信息无差异，人类传播信息的速度第一次超过了马蹄子。 当时有一种广泛的乐观主义，那就是电报会使得全人类团结起来。然而...
评分维多利亚时代的互联网--你别说, 电报还真有点当今互联网的意思. 电报第一次实现了远距离即时通信, 对于依靠马和船来通信的维多利亚时代的冲击恐怕远大于互联网对习惯了电报电话的当代的冲击. 电报的时代有当今互联网的影子: 商业和金融, 密码和破解, 欺诈和犯罪, 甚至还有网恋...
评分互联网连通世界。现代人不用出门，上网就能买到自己想要的；隔壁时区的小伙伴，一起来打王者荣耀吧；有啥想说的话，微信、QQ、朋友圈，随发随显……想想我们的老祖宗，生活在遥远的古代，信息闭塞、消息难递，一封家书抵万金……到了100多年前，他们终于忍不住了：我们要更快速...
评分 评分高铁、支付宝、共享单车、网购，外国青年戏称其为中国的“新四大发明”。有赖于科技的进步，对便利的生活习以为常、且对更多新技术跃跃欲试的当代青年，恐怕很难想象穿越回过去要怎样生活——遗失手机的一天已经叫人坐立难安了，去穷乡僻壤断网一周则像与世隔绝。如此看来，互...

看完這本書，明白了一點：這本書對我寫essay沒有一點幫助
评分叙事流畅、妙趣横生的电报发展史，对想象力与探索精神的礼赞，电报最早实现即时通讯、缩小时间、空间差距，亦将其传递给了电话、电视、互联网，由此带来的优缺点亦延续至今，故富有现实意义；少数片段技术性较强，不易理解。
