wwww - wireless world wide web

When I read the Wireless World short, I found it hard to locate the main idea of the piece. As far as I could tell, it was just a basic summary of this network did that and that network did this. But I looked over the work again and took quick note of all these dates. Most coincide with the late 19^th and early 20^th century. I’m quite sure that the manifestation of technology has only grown exponentially if measured on a numerical scale. This time period, only relatively shortly after the discovery of electricity and wired communications like the telegraph, was going wireless. This invokes a sense of a need for wireless technology. Mobility was the key. Take all the ships for example. The Titanic’s broadcasts were picked up for how long away? I’d have taken miles and miles of cable just to link any two ships together. So how about all the others? The ocean is a good place to implement wireless communications…in the early 20^th century. We see our world has been brought together and almost downsized with the advent of wireless mobility. It cuts cables and cords but still allows us to be connected. But apparently in 1889, Lord Salisbury commented that the telegraph could “combine together…the opinions of the whole intelligent world” Obviously, Lord Salisbury did not foresee facebooking in the middle of class as a need for wireless…
