Dot-dash to dot.com - how modern telecommunications evolved from the telegraph to the internet
This book describes some of the feats of 19th century engineering and the impact of the first telecommunications on the Victorian world as well as how the success of the electric telegraph led to the development of the telephone and fax machine. From there we explore the early experiments that led to the creation of the internet and the world wide web and learn how networks work, and why they sometimes don't.
