In the history of electronic communication, the last quarter of the nineteenth century holds a special place, for it was during this period that the telephone, phonograph, electric light, wireless, and cinema were all invented. In When old Technologies Were New, Carolyn Marvin explores how two of these new inventions--the telephone and the electric light--were publicly envisioned at the end of the nineteenth century, as seen in specialized engineering journals and popular media. Marvin pays particular attention to the telephone, describing how it disrupted established social relations, unsettling customary ways of dividing the private person and family from the more public setting of the community. On the lighter side, she describes how people spoke louder when calling long distance, and how they worried about catching contagious diseases over the phone. A particularly powerful chapter deals with telephonic precursors of radio broadcasting--the "Telephone Herald" in New York and the "Telefon Hirmondo" of Hungary--and the conflict between the technological development of broadcasting and the attempt to impose a homogenous, ethnocentric variant of Anglo-Saxon culture on the public. While focusing on the way professionals in the electronics field tried to control the new media, Marvin also illuminates the broader social impact, presenting a wide-ranging, informative, and entertaining account of the early years of electronic media.

书名起得挺有创意的，但应该是写作风格的原因，阅读有很大障碍。总感觉作者不会用平实的英文好好说话……很努力地看下去，好像也没说很有创见的观点出来。不知是不是我英语太渣了。
评分不知道是不是写作风格的原因，明明写得也没有很深入但读起来就有点心累…有的故事还是很有趣的。胜在资料极其详实（虽然也不能说完全没有偏颇），继承McLuhan的观点将电灯作为medium来详细论述算是比较有新意的部分
