Old New Media Readings
These are books I've been reading about old media precedents to new media forms. I've also ordered Lisa Gitelman's new book, Always Already New. Is there anything else I should be looking at? (Of course, there's history of the book and new media theory and orality/literacy and digital texts and on and on. I've got a lot of that stuff around here. What I'm looking for right now are other materials that deal specifically with the old media/new media issue.)

"The Victorian internet", an intriguing title.

It's a pretty interesting book about the telegraph as a precedent for the Internet. Not particularly scholarly (as in footnotes, etc.), but very readable.

My analytics show a bunch of traffic from this page to one of my photos, but there is no link here. Any idea why?
