parallels between the telegraph and the gem of late 20th century technology, the
Internet. Both systems grew out of the cutting edge science of their time. The
telegraph’s land lines, underwater cables, and clicking gadgets reflected the

high-speed connections reflect 20th century computer science, information
theory, and materials technology. But, while inventions make a global network possible, it takes human cooperation to make it happen. Standage’s insight in this regard adds depth to his technological history. It under- scores the relevance to our own time of the struggles of Samuel Morse in America, William Cooke in England, and other telegraph pioneers.
