What does james gleick mean when he talks about "the gloom that has fallen over the book-publishing industry"?

History

In his 2008 article for the New York Times, James Gleick talks about "the gloom that has fallen over the book-publishing industry" to describe the the negative impact of digitalizing books in the book-publishing industry.

In this article he describes the already decline in paper-books sales due to the rise of digital platforms such as Kindle, epub, etc, and how the future of book-publishers looked grimer because of an agreement between authors, publishers and Google to allow the scanning and digitalizing of books to make them accesible in website and digital platforms.

This agreement would be dramatic for the sectors of the book-publishing industry dealing with marketing, archiving and distributing physical paper books.

One result of the invention of the. Was the increased speed of communication from one area to another far away.
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

<h2>Telegraph</h2>

Explanation:

Telegraph is the answer I would suggest, as that was the first invention that greatly accelerated the speed of communication.  Following that came the telephone, and then after that, cell phones and  the Internet.  All of these communication tools have accelerated the rate and amount of global communication.  But the first step in that direction was the telegraph.

The telegraph was developed in the first part of the 19th century by Samuel Morse and other inventors.   Morse also developed a code (which has been named after him) for communicating messages via short and long   electronic signals over telegraph wires.   Morse sent his first telegraph message in 1844.  By 1866 telegraph lines had been laid across the Atlantic Ocean for communication between the USA and Europe.

As summarized by the <em>History Channel, "</em>The telegraph revolutionized long-distance communication. ... Although the telegraph had fallen out of widespread use by the start of the 21st century, replaced by the telephone, fax machine and Internet, it laid the groundwork for the communications revolution that led to those later innovations."

Help? I don’t understand what to do 25 points
NARA [144]

Answer:

what this is asking is for you to show what sets the two political parties apart (for examples, their stances on the same situation or some of the motives that are found in this political party). in the center this asks you to find similarities; are there things that both parties strive for? one example I can think of off the top of my head for the differences is that the Republican party has, in history, been known for taking more "aggressive" stances as opposed to Democratic counterparts; but like the instructions say you need to cite internet sources. hope this helped!
