@b_cavello fun fact: Cornell was founded/funded through Ezra Cornell's patent that dug & laid telegraph cable. For the organizational behavior part of the telegraph story, I strongly recommend JoAnne Yates's iconic book "Control through Communication" which explains why there was demand for the telegraph in the first place. https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/1373/control-through-communication?srsltid=AfmBOorlU-gUhVrEXvvzo7BApB6MZ-RGPmV48cnOu47VCYIPFs-Q-qav
