In 'When old Technologies Were New', Carolyn Marvin explores how two of these new inventions - the telephone & the electric light - were publicly envisioned at the end of the 19th century, as seen in specialized engineering journals & popular media. Marvin pays particular attention to the telephone, describing how it disrupted established social relations, unsettling customary ways of dividing the private person & family from the more public setting of the community.Oxford scholarship online.TelecommunicationHistory19th centuryElectrical engineeringHistory19th centuryElectronic books.TelecommunicationHistoryElectrical engineeringHistory621.38Marvin Carolyn143821MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910449692903321When old technologies were new29471UNINA
