Low-tech Magazine: Email in the 18th century: Dec 23, 2007 7:01pm 8 reviews history, technology
http://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2007/12/email-in-the-18.html; It's a shame something like the "optical telegraph" discussed here has fallen into virtually forgotten history. It looks very simple from our 21st Century vantage point, but to someone in the 18th Century, it was cutting edge. We should remember things like this, both to show how far we've come and to remind us that sometimes we really haven't come all that far. We're not doing anything different from the way we used to, we're just doing it faster.
