On This Day In History
1838: Samuel Morse demonstrates the telegraph

Quote Of The Day
"It would not be long ere the whole surface of this country would be channelled for those nerves which are to diffuse, with the speed of thought, a knowledge of all that is occuring throughout the land, making, in fact, one neighbourhood of the whole country."
(Samuel Morse)

Bonus Quote Of The Day
"Like primitive, we now live in a global village of our own making, a simultaneous happening."
(Marshall McLuhan, The Gutenberg Galaxy: The Making Of Typographic Man, 1962)

I'd say now, 62 years after McLuhan, we are living in a global town hall, and the accoustics are quite appalling. Words - the ultimate double-edged sword; use them with all due diligence and precision.
