Pasirodo, pasaulio degradacija prasidėjo ne nuo interneto, o jau nuo telegrafo. Telegrafas sugriovė jaunuolių laimę: "The extension of the telegraph would mean that runaway couples traveling by train could no longer outrun the news of their elopement, and a disapproving parent could alert the authorities at Gretna Green before they had even arrived. "What an enemy science is to romance and love!" declared one critic." Jis gi sugriovė ir harmoningus santykius tarp valstybių: "TRADITIONALLY, diplomats prefer slow, measured responses to events, but the telegraph encouraged instant reaction—"and I do not know that with our business it is very desirable that it should be so," warned Edmond Hammond, a British diplomat at the time of the Crimean War. He feared that diplomats would end up responding to "off-hand points which had much better be considered." Charles Mazade, a French historian, even went so far as to suggest that the Franco Prussian War of 1870—71 was a direct result of diplomats reacting too hastily to telegraphic dispatches." - Viskas sulaužyta dar iki mūsų, tai kažkaip net lengviau pasidarė.
