13th April Easter Monday at 7am: Ireland Connects The World by Andy O’Donoghue
The story of the telegraph, Valentia, Reuters news agency and Napoleon III are all bound up in this tale. In the middle of the nineteenth century the small community on Valentia Island, off the Kerry coast was thrust, unexpectedly into the world of global communications. The successful laying of the transatlantic telegraph cable would forever change the world. This was the Victorian Internet. In Ireland Connects The World, Technology Journalist and producer Andy O'Donoghue reflects on the parallels between the telegraph of Morse and our new, digital telegraph, the internet and concludes that while technology may change, human nature does not.
