———————-

Communication, transportation and commerce have been intertwined since the beginning of human history, and they remain closely related.

The success of the first electronic telegraph line in 1844 opened an era of modern communication. Before the telegraph there existed no separation between transportation and communication. Information traveled only as fast as the messenger who carried it. — D. J. Czitrom, Media and the American Mind

This reality was even codified in the Dewey Decimal library classification system:

380 Commerce, Communications, Transportation (Library Thing)
