In preparing myself for this committee, aside from looking back at the first Senate report by Senator Davey on the mass media and reading some, if not all, of the transcripts of your hearings, it struck me that the issues that you are addressing would be informed by the book, When Old Technologies Were New: Thinking About Electric Communication in the Late Nineteenth Century, by Carolyn Marvin; and Elizabeth Eisenstein's piece, ``Some Conjectures about the Impact of Printing on Western Society and Thought: A Preliminary Report,'' in the Journal of Modern History.
