Media Technology and Society: A History from the Telegraph to the Internet is a 1998 book by Brian Winston.[1] The book's central thesis is that technology, rather than developing in relatively discontinuous revolutions, evolves as part of a larger evolutionary pattern.[2] It was named 'Best Book of 1998' by the American Association for History and Computing.[3]
The book contains examples of ways in which technology, human behaviour and society are interconnected.[4][5][6] Through historical accounts,[7] Winston demonstrates how technology reinforces social trends,[8] and how social conditions lead to specific inventions.[9] It is not an academic work, but instead was written to be read by the general public.[10]
