This is because the development of the telegraph essentially mirrored the development of the Internet. Tom Standage also proposes that if Victorians from the 1800s were to be around today, they would be far from impressed with present Internet capabilities. This book explores the historical development of the telegraph and the social ramifications associated with this development. A graduate of Oxford University, he has worked as a science and technology writer for The Guardian, as the business editor at The Economist, has been published in Wired, The New York Times, and The Daily Telegraph, and has published five books, including The Victorian Internet.
Tom Standage is a journalist and author from England.
