 Tom Standage facts

• A graduate of Oxford University, he has worked as a science and technology writer for The Guardian, as the deputy editor at The Economist, has been published in Wired, The New York Times, and The Daily Telegraph
• A consistent approach of his is the use of historical analogy in science, technology and business writing
• He has published a collection of articles and surveys from The Economist and six books, including The Victorian Internet
• This book explores the historical development of the telegraph and the social ramifications associated with this development
• Tom Standage also proposes that if Victorians from the 19th century were to be around today, they would be far from impressed with present Internet capabilities
• This is because the development of the telegraph essentially mirrored the development of the Internet
• Both technologies can be seen to have largely increased the speed and transmission of information and both were widely criticised by some, due to their perceived negative consequences
• Tom's most recent work is Writing on the Wall (2013)
