"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.
Tom Standage is the former science correspondent/technology editor and current business at the ECONOMIST magazine.
He is the author of Writing on the Wall: Social Media-The First 2000 Years, the bestseller A History of the World in 6 Glasses, An Edible History of Humanity, The Turk, and The Neptune File, and The Victorian Internet.

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。

这是2017年读的最后一本书,也是2018年读的第一本书。很神奇的跨年之读,居然是这本意外的小书。 说是意外,是因为如果不是在图书馆的新书架上偶然地扫视到这个书名,估计我是永远都不会读到这本书的。《维多利亚时代的互联网》,初看题目会觉得是一本信息技术科学方面的书,毕...
