    About this ebook

    In "Wireless Possibilities," A. M. Low explores the burgeoning world of wireless communication, delving into its historical context and technological advancements during the early 20th century. The book presents a blend of technical insight and speculative imagination, characterizing the period's avant-garde spirit as Low envisions an interconnected future. Employing a lucid literary style, rich with vivid examples and grounded in contemporary developments of his time, Low highlights the transformative potential of wireless technology and its societal implications, making the text not just an exploration of technology, but also a cultural commentary on modernity's rapid pace. A. M. Low, a pioneer in radio communication and a deeply engaged thinker in science and technology, was uniquely positioned to write this work. His expertise as an inventor and a member of the British Radio Society allowed him to foresee the possibilities that radio waves could offer to society, both in practical applications and theoretical advancements. Low’s background in engineering and his engagement with contemporaneous technological discourse inform his visionary perspective on what wireless communication could achieve for humanity. "Wireless Possibilities" is essential reading for anyone fascinated by the historical intersection of technology and society. With its forward-thinking analysis and insightful predictions, Low's work not only informs but also inspires, making it a compelling exploration of the future that resonates with modern readers interested in the evolution of communication technologies.

      Table of Contents

      The effects of history upon the advance of science are often noted, but the result of the march of progress is more often entirely neglected.

      It would seem desirable that the future should be studied with reasonable accuracy if we are to protect ourselves from the ill-effects and obtain the benefit from the good fortunes of invention.

      INVENTION

      Table of Contents

      Considering the very evident fact that we owe every detail of our lives, every little comfort which separates us from the cave-man, to the science of invention, it seems strange that so long should have elapsed before this remarkable faculty received proper recognition.

      Invention, in many ways, is the science and art of continuity of thought. The inventor is often referred to as a strange person; very true, very necessarily true when we realise that his doings must be strange or new, to be of value. To train oneself to forget the smell of the beefsteak when hungry and to continue the natural sequence of ideas which may be passing through the mind, is to train the brain to improve. If we can but sweep a crossing a very little cleaner than that next to our own, perhaps we have surely accomplished one of the greatest duties of all.

      If not one day is spent without something learnt, surely we have achieved the greatest object of work and enabled ourselves to realise that there are no such things as basic facts.

      Invention is not labour, for the latter is doing something we do not wish to do in some one else’s time, and invention like all good things is a work of love. Possibly that is why it is never paid!

      We are too apt, I think, all of us, to rejoice in our greatness as her devotees rejoiced in the greatness of Diana of the Ephesians: we should realise every time we undress that we are little removed from the animal, and that before many centuries have
