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.
“With every new technology, we overestimate how quickly people change their behavior. This dot-com cult classic compares Web fever to the awe of the telegraph. When Queen Victoria sent the first transatlantic cable to President Buchanan in 1858, the London Times said that the invention ‘has half undone the Revolution of 1776,’ and torch-bearing revelers, celebrating the cable’s completion, nearly burned down New York’s City Hall. Publisher James Gordon Bennett rued: ‘Mere newspapers must submit to destiny and go out of existence.’ What was the best way to profit? Faster communications created our Information Age, but the telegraph industry was a short-lived wonder. By 1880, Western Union carried 80% of the traffic. Then came the phone.”?L. Gordon Crovitz, The Wall Street Journal
?Standage has written a lively book on the telegraph and its roles in helping 19th century business and technology grow . . . The Victorian Internet demonstrates engagingly that not even the 21st century technology is totally new.”?Denver Post
?[The telegraph’s] capacity to convey large amounts of information over vast distances with unprecedented dispatch was an irresistible form, causing what can only be called global revolution.”?Washington Post
?An entertaining primer on a complex subject of increasing interest.”?Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review
“One of the most fascinating books of the dotcom era . . . Standage is a good storyteller, and provides an engaging account of the rise and fall of the telegraph.”?The Financial Times
“Blends anecdote, suspense and science into richly readable stuff.”?The Independent
?A fascinating walk through a pivotal period in human history.”?USA Today
“Standage tells his fascinating story in an engaging, readable style, from the moment a bunch of Carthusian monks get suckered into a hilarious human electrical-conductivity experiment in 1746 to the telegraph’s eventual eclipse by the telephone. If you’ve ever hankered for a perspective on media Net hype, this book is for you.”?Hari Kunzru, Wired
“Richly detailed . . . Standage’s writing is colourful, smooth and wonderfully engaging.”?Smithsonian magazine
“A new technology will connect everyone! It’s making investors rich! It’s the Internet boom?except Samuel Morse is there!”?Fortune magazine
?This book should be essential reading for those caught up in our own information revolution.”?Christian Science Monitor
?I was simply fascinated by this book. It contains parallels between the reception of the telegraph and the Internet which I knew nothing about.”?Vinton Cerf, co-inventor of the Internet
“An inspired and utterly topical rediscovery of the emergence of the earliest modern communications technology.”?William Gibson, author of All Tomorrow’s Parties
“A great read . . . The book makes the argument that the telegraph in its day was much more revolutionary than the internet is in our day.”?Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia.org
?An admirably efficient and concise telling of the story of the rise and decline of the telegraph. As with all good case histories, this one excites the mind with parallels to present day experience.”?Henry Petroski, author of The Pencil: A History of Design and Circunstance
“An almost unputdownable account of a technical revolution of a magnitude and impact that in many ways arguably was larger than that of the Internet . . . a useful and very rewarding . . . reading for anyone.”?Dr. Henrik Nilsson, University of Nottingham
?A lively, short history of the development and rapid growth a century and a half ago of the first electronic network, the telegraphs, Standage’s book debut is also a cautionary tale in how new technologies inspire unrealistic hopes for universal understanding and peace, and then are themselves blamed when those hopes are disappointed.”?Publishers Weekly
?A fascinating overview of a once world-shaking invention and its impact on society. recommended to fans of scientific history.”?Kirkus Reviews
?This lively, anecdote-filled history reveals that the telegraph changed the world forever?from the hand-carried-message world to an instantaneous one . . . Standage has it all here, including the role the telegraph played in war (Crimea), spying (the Dreyfus affair, in which Captain Dreyfus was first betrayed and then saved by a telegram), and even love (sort of the first chat rooms, to use an Internet term).”?Booklist
Imagine an almost instantaneous communication system that would allow people and governments all over the world to send and receive messages about politics, war, illness, and family events. The government has tried and failed to control it, and its revolutionary nature is trumpeted loudly by its backers. The Internet? Nope, the humble telegraph fit this bill way back in the 1800s. The parallels between the now-ubiquitous Internet and the telegraph are amazing, offering insight into the ways new technologies can change the very fabric of society within a single generation. In The Victorian Internet, Tom Standage examines the history of the telegraph, beginning with a horrifically funny story of a mile-long line of monks holding a wire and getting simultaneous shocks in the interest of investigating electricity, and ending with the advent of the telephone. All the early “online” pioneers are here: Samuel Morse, Thomas Edison, and a seemingly endless parade of code-makers, entrepreneurs, and spies who helped ensure the success of this communications revolution. Fans of Longitude will enjoy another story of the human side of dramatic technological developments, complete with personal rivalry, vicious competition, and agonizing failures. –Therese Littleton

When there is no picture of a most wanted or Missing Persons, photofit pictures are used. Once drawn by hand, they are now more and more substituted by photomontage. The personality is created with different modules like head, eyes, nose and mouth. The vague memory of a witness leads to the image of a concrete person. Sometimes different combinations of possible looks are attributed to a same person. This new virtual image finds itself soon in thousands of archives and data bases. Anyone can easily have access to those images by internet. To increase security and help track criminals, unknown death (Mr. Smith) or lost and kidnapped people, government asks citizen to help search those people. Mr. J. Smith is a font-family consisting of 4 portrait-fonts and one letter-fonts. The portrait font Mr. J. Smith is a portrait-construction-kit. By layering the fonts Head, Eye, Nose, Mouth one over the other, you can design over 7 million different faces.

Question by bill h: “This way to the best of the internet” popup. How can I make it stop?
Outlook express has a popup when you press the Send/Receive button that is called “This way to the best of the internet”. It must be trying to connect to a mail server because it asks for my id and password. But when I look in Outlook Express accounts there is nothing other than my cable ISP listed there as servers. What could be causing it? The only thing I can find on Microsoft is how to make an MSN account work thru Express. I don’t want that, I just want it to stop popping up. Any help.. PLEASE

I use OE version 6 and I don’t have this problem. What version are you using?
Makes me wonder if it’s actually part of OE, or if some scum-ware has attached itself to your email client. hard to say. Try going into safe mode and running all your anti-garbage-ware you have and see if that helps. You should be using adaware se, spybot, and a-squared. AVG has an anti-rootkit and another application…and I’m not talking about the antivirus software. You should use all these programs, and they are all free. Doing this MAY uproot your problem IF it’s not part of your OE application.
I have not heard of this on any version, but I wonder if it’s a registry setting. I will ear-mark your question so I can come back to it. I will poke around and see what I can come up with.
Oh, actually, if you don’t get any answers here, try the link below. You have to register and come up with yet another username and password, but if you post a question on the forum you might get an answer to this question. It is occupied solely by computer geeks. You’re bound to find someone that knows your problem and how to address it. I use it myself from time to time when I get stuck.
Good luck. I know how irritating this stuff can be, and I don’t know WHY these things are allowed to be part of any software.
