"The telegraph permitted the development, in the favorite metaphor of the day, of a thoroughly encephalated social nervous system in which signaling was divorced from musculature. It was the telegraph and the railroad -- the actual, painful construction of an integrated system -- that provided the entrance gate for the organic metaphors that dominated nineteenth-century thought."
-- James Carey,
"Time, Space, and the Telegraph,"
in Communication in History,
David Crowley &
Paul Heyer, eds.
(NY: Longman) 1995,
ps. 154-155.
