5つ星のうち5.0 電信（テレグラフ）とインターネット－－多くの類似点
2000年11月6日に日本でレビュー済み
ビクトリア女王の時代（１８３７－１９０１）に『電信』が社会に与えた影響と、今日のインターネットとの間には驚くほど多くの類似点（historical parallels）がある。著者は、この類似を安っぽい話題として提供しているのではなく、資料にもとづき淡々と話を進めている。「インターネットは、産業革命以来の未曾有の変革をもたらす」などと言う人もいるが、馬や汽車に乗ったメッセンジャーあるいは伝書バトにメッセージを託していた世界が、電信で結ばれたときの社会的な変化はより大きいものであったに違いない。この本は洋書にしては小ぶりであるが、結晶のように凝縮された中味が詰まっている。

5つ星のうち4.0 Muito interessante, vale a leitura

Este livro conta a história do telégrafo, em termos mais leigos, não tanto voltado para engenheiros eletricistas.
No entanto as histórias mencionadas são muito boas, desde as dificuldades de implementação quanto a de aceitação pelo público

very interesting topic, given how communication has sped up since the intro of the telegram, after being mostly flat for centuries prior. Well executed, not long, easy read, entertaining too, some good stories in there.

Loved the in-depth coverage of history of telegraph. Didn't realise telegraphs were a global network before internet arrived on the scene

Standage tells the story of the telegraph in this delightful short book. It opens with a chapter on the 'optical telegraph' - the signalling system based on a network of mutually visible towers which flourished particulaly in France. After this, it traces the decisive step made by Morse, Cooke and Wheatstone in harnessing electricity to convey messages. There are fascinating chapters on the sceptics who doubted the value of the new technology; the problems of inter-continental cable laying; alternative messaging techniques such as capsules shot through tubes with compressed air; the use of the electric telegraph by criminals as well as the police; online telegraphic romance; the hopes that instant communication would lead to international conflict resolution; and the growing realisation that in fact it was an invaluable military techonology.

Finally telegraphy is over-taken by telephony, which allows a greater rapidly of communication and requires no intermediaries. The book closes with some thought-provoking remarks as to how new and revolutionary the Internet really is.

Throughout the material is admirably selected and the writing witty and clear. It is also a self-effacing book: as far as could be seen, the word 'I' (in the sense of 'Tom Standage') appears exactly once - in the acknowledgements section. Strongly recommended. His book on planetary discovery (The Neptune File) is also superb.

5つ星のうち5.0 History Repeats Itself

Tom Standage is onto something. It seems that everything we know about the Internet today, we've already done before. The turn of this century was a lot like the turn of the last century.
"The Victorian Internet" is all about our world and the invention of the Telegraph. As cyberpunk author Neal Stephenson once pointed out, the telegraph was the world's first global digital network. It's when we started trying to push voice down the copper lines that we mucked things up.
In this book, you'll find technological wizardry, geek pioneers, global aspirations, long-distance romances, and online scams. You'll discover what 19th-Century chat was like. There are growing pains. We see fear for the future and fear of moral decline. The Telegraph represented a sudden, massive interconnection of people thousands of miles apart, and the effects of this overnight deluge of information is clear in reading. You have to remember that these were people used to feeling safe in their own homes, blissfully unaware of each other, and only vaguely informed of events going on in other countries.
Standage does a nice job of hitting on the hottest topics of our time, without hitting the reader over the head to make a point. Cybergeeks will love his stops at Cryptography, code, and the other programming-like solutions people came up with to solve their problems. Fans of history will be amused by the parallels between life then and now as "old media" learns to stop worrying and embrace "new media".
In a narrative style that resembles the British TV series "Connections", Standage shows us what each side of the Atlantic was up to, the race to connect the world, and the sheer determination and boundless optimism that made it all happen. There are also interesting tidbits along the way: we get facts about Samuel Morse and Thomas Edison that most history books ignore. There are anecdotes from 19th-century daily life that we can easily identify with today. All of it combines in a way that is easy to read, decently-paced, and fun to think about and discuss with others.
I give this book 5 stars for being clever with presentation and for keeping the various threads together without seeming fragmented. Tom Standage moves us through history without jumping around, and references earlier sections to remind us of where things are going. If you like history, technology, or even the geekier topics of machine logic, programming, and cryptography, this book makes an excellent read.
