Publisher's Synopsis

The telegraph, typewriter, photograph, radio, train, plane, fax and Internet were all at one time or another the latest technological wonder. All of them changed people's lives, but whether that was perceived as a blessing or a burden is a very human story, one that Merritt Ierley tells in this book.
