  • Cyberpower: the Culture and Politics of Cyberspace and the Internet
    Cyberpower Cyberspace and the Internet are becoming increasingly important in today’s societies and yet there has been little analysis of the forces and powers that construct life there. This book presents for the first time a wide ranging introduction to the politics of the Internet, covering all the key concepts of cyberspace. Subjects analysed include the collective imagination in cyberspace, the virtual individual and power and society as created by the Internet. The author uses examples ranging from cross-gendered virtual selves to the meaning of Bill Gates. In his questioning of who actually governs cyberspace and what powers the individual can control there, Tim Jordan presents a vast range of material, using case studies and original research in interviews as well as statistical and theoretical analysis. Organised around key concepts and providing an extensive bibliography of cyberspace-speak, Cyberpower will appeal to students as the first complete analysis of the politics and culture of the Internet. It will also be essential reading for anyone wondering how cyberspace is remaking global society and where the superhighway might be leading us. Tim Jordan is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology, University of East London.

  • Media Technology and Society
    MEDIA TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY Media Technology and Society offers a comprehensive account of the history of communications technologies, from the telegraph to the Internet. Winston argues that the development of new media, from the telephone to computers, satellite, camcorders and CD-ROM, is the product of a constant play-off between social necessity and suppression: the unwritten ‘law’ by which new technologies are introduced into society. Winston’s fascinating account challenges the concept of a ‘revolution’ in communications technology by highlighting the long histories of such developments. The fax was introduced in 1847. The idea of television was patented in 1884. Digitalisation was demonstrated in 1938. Even the concept of the ‘web’ dates back to 1945. Winston examines why some prototypes are abandoned, and why many ‘inventions’ are created simultaneously by innovators unaware of each other’s existence, and shows how new industries develop around these inventions, providing media products for a mass audience. Challenging the popular myth of a present-day ‘Information Revolution’, Media Technology and Society is essential reading for anyone interested in the social impact of technological change. Brian Winston is Head of the School of Communication, Design and Media at the University of Westminster. He has been Dean of the College of Communications at the Pennsylvania State University, Chair of Cinema Studies at New York University and Founding Research Director of the Glasgow University Media Group. His books include Claiming the Real (1995). As a television professional, he has worked on World in Action and has an Emmy for documentary script-writing.

Every effort was made toensure this glossary inconsistent with published standards. Several glossaries in fiber optics have been prepared bystandards organimtions. In 1982 the National Institute of Standards and Technology, formerly the National Bureau of Standards, published PB82-166257, 0ptical Waveguide Commimications Glossary. Two years later, The’Instituteof Electrical and Electronics Engineers approved IEEE Standard 8I2-l984, Definitions of Terms Relating to Fiber Optics, forthemost part bmedonthe contents of PB82-166257. In 1986, FED- STD- 1037, Glossary of Telecommunication Terms, was issued by the General Services Ad- ministration. The U.S. Army Information Systems Engineering Support Activity was the preparing activity and the National Communications System wasthe assigned agency. Withan orientation toward telecommunications, about 10 percent of its content is devoted to fiberoptic. Shortly thereafter: the Electronic Industries Association published EIA-440A, Fiber Optic Terminology, agamconsisting primarily of PB82-166257. A glossary, IEC-Draft 731-OpticaI Communication, is being prepared by the International Electrotechnical Commission. Different areas of fiber optics were emphasized by each. None covered fiber optics science and technology in its entirety. Some emphasized theory while others covered technology or applications.

  • “Mr. Watson- Come Here- I Want to See You!” These Were the First Words Ever Spoken on a Telephone by Inventor, Alexander Graham Bell on March 10, 1876
    “Mr. Watson- Come here- I want to see you!” These were the first words ever spoken on a telephone by inventor, Alexander Graham Bell on March 10, 1876. Many people do not know that the telephone was also being invented at the same time by two other individuals. With only hours separating the two inventors, Alexander Graham Bell patented the device before competitor Elisha Gray could file for his patent. Through the invention of the telephone other technological inventions have been able to be created such as the internet, fax machines, and cellular phones. With the ever-changing habits of communication, the telephone has allowed the transformation of technology to adapt to the ever-increasing needs of the consumer. Wall Mounted Phones Wood Wall phones were among the first phones that were made available to the public by the early telephone companies of the late 1900s. Most of these phones had self contained batteries to provide transmission power, and a magneto to generate the electricity required to ring the bells of the party being called. This strategy enabled telephone users to communicate with each other without the requirement for a centralized power supply. An added benefit was derived from the fact that the local batteries provided a stronger more consistent power source compared to common battery power that suffered from line attenuation in the extended line runs common in rural settings. The manufacture of local battery phones with magneto ringing was essentially This wood wall phone was manufactured discontinued in the US during the 1940s. The rural nature of Canada, however, created an by the Century Telephone Construction ongoing need for these phones.

    THE BELL SYSTEM TECHNICAL JOURNAL volume xxxvii March 1958 number2 Copyright 195S, American Telephone and Telegraph Company Telephone By E. T. GREEN This article, which appeared in the 1957 printing of the Encyclopedia Brilannica* has been reprinted by special permission for readers of the Bell System Technical Journal. All statistics have been corrected to the latest available figures. An objective account of the invention of the telephone itself is given, and the subsequent development and growth of telephony are described. A statisti- cal summary is presented of the intensity of development in different parts of the world. This is followed by a comprehensive review of technical develop- nients, including progress in station instrumentalities, and transmission and switching principles and methods. The article concludes with a predic- tion of trends to he anticipated in telephony as a result of recent technical advances. The term 'Telephone" (from the Greek roots rfjXe, far, and (puvh, sound) was formerly used to describe any apparatus for conveying sounds to a distant point. Specifically, the word was applied as early as 1796 to a megaphone, and not long afterward to a speaking tube. Subse- quently the name "string telephone" was given to the device invented long before by Robert Hooke (1607), in which vibrations in a diaphragm caused by voice or sound waves are transmitted mechanically along a string or wire to a similar diaphragm which reproduces the sound. Still later, devices employing electric currents to reproduce at a distance the mere pitch of musical sounds were called telephones.
