Mr. Lincoln's T-Mails — Was Abraham Lincoln the first master of a new technology?

Oou8h

That's the thesis of Tom Wheeler's 2006 book, which I first heard of when I read Mark Leibovich's August 3, 2008 New York Times article about John McCain's technophobia.

How Wheeler's book slipped by without my noticing I can't fathom; I guess I somehow missed all the rave reviews.

In any event I just ordered a copy.

Just goes to show that sometimes life does give you a second chance.

Chapter one is a free download here.

After the Obama File from the Washington Post it is now very clear, who is going to win this next election.
