| Science writer Tom Standage draws apt
parallels between the telegraph and the gem of late 20th-century technology, the
Internet. Both systems grew out of the cutting edge science of their time. The
telegraph’s land lines, underwater cables, and clicking gadgets reflected the
19th century’s research in electromagnetism. The Internet’s computers and
high-speed connections reflect 20th-century computer science, information
theory, and materials technology. But, while gizmos make a global network possible, it takes human cooperation to make it happen. Standage’s insight in this regard adds depth to his technological history. It underscores the relevance to our own time of the struggles of Samuel Morse in America, William Cooke in England, and other telegraph pioneers. They made the technology work efficiently, sold it to a skeptical public, and overcame na A. making a comparison. B. posing a contrast. C. drawing an analogy. D. enumerating details.
