Cavello 🐝<p>Any <a href="https://mastodon.publicinterest.town/tags/HistoryOfTechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryOfTechnology</span></a> folks out there?<br>I’m trying to learn more about the history of electrification (aka the widespread adoption of electricity or construction of infrastructure outside of, like, funky inventors-in-labs types of things).<br>In my mind, the early demonstrations of public usefulness were for electric lighting, but I am learning that the telegraph may have even earlier driven infrastructure investments.<br>Do you know more? Or have recommendations on where to look? I’d love to learn!</p>
