"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.

作者斯坦迪奇很善于从普通的事物中探寻历史发展规律,他的《六个瓶子中的历史》、《舌尖上的历史》分别从饮品和食物的视角展现人类社会的发展进步历程,读起来令人耳目一新。 也许是出于营销的考虑,译者为本书加了一个颇具违和感的标题——维多利亚时代的互联网,而实际内容则...
评分从早期的观感性电报(查普的摆臂式,技术上显然没有英国的6开关先进……)到通过电线传导信号,到全球电报网络的建立,奠定了后续乃至今天的信息化基础。 有趣的几个赶脚: 摩尔斯和库克,一美一英两个电流式电报机发明者,都是非科班出身的所谓民科;而跨洋电报线路的创始者菲...

评分 评分是一本非常有趣的书了,讲的虽然是一百多年前的故事,但是几乎和现在的章节可以得到印证。 1、人们对于新技术的态度,狂热地认为可以解决人性的顽疾,最初对于新技术的质疑。 2、随着新技术的普及,使得一部分有特长的人可以专美于前,带来阶级的流动和人口的地理流动。同时基...
