Extract

Imagine a world where it is possible to communicate instantaneously with someone thousands of miles away. Where people operate chat-rooms, have personalised addresses, so information can be routed more quickly. Where items can be purchased more quickly and cheaply and delivered to your door in a matter of days.
This sounds like the world of today, but in fact, describes America of the middle nineteenth and early twentieth century where the medium was Morse code and the telegraphic wire.
In his book The Victorian Internet the author, Thomas Standage describes this world of technological wonder, and shows that while new technology will always advance the world always adapts and complements this advance.
This is mirrored today, where new advances in wireless technology with more advanced and shrinking hardware size, are heralding a new era of communication where the by words will be total operability, anywhere, anytime, and any device.
