Getting the Message is a unique and engaging exploration of the
fascinating history of communications, starting with ancient
civilisations, the Greeks and Romans, then leading through the
development of the electric telegraph, and up to the present day
with email and smartphones. The technology is explained in a
particularly simple and accessible way, and themes from politics,
economics, and society weave in and out of the scientific ideas.
The book concludes with a look at the possible future of
communications, the new developments to come, and the implications
these will have for our everyday lives. Lavishly illustrated, and
including many original illustrations that show just how these new
developments were received in their time, the book presents an
informative and highly entertaining introduction to the field of
communications. This revised second edition looks at the new
developments in communications over the two decades since the first
edition's release.
