Americans in the first decades of the twentieth century seemed to quickly take the technology for granted, as a "anonymous object". There was little serious controversy about the telephone, unlike the automobile, compared to which the telephone left little lasting impression on the consciousness of Americans.
A historian and doing history in a very detailed way. By studying a single tech closely, Fischer illustrates 1) tech effects are not cumulative (the télé usage example), 2) the diffusion rate is non-linear (a plateau due to undercut Bell monopoly and increased maintenance price)
