      abstract = {The development of what one might call ‘modern’  systems of information and communication began with the  Gutenberg printing press in the 15th century, and  progressed through the prepaid postal system, electric  telegraph and telephone in the 19th century, radio and  television broadcasting in the 20th century, and most  recently the Internet. This essay focuses on the response  of governments to these innovations, beginning with the  printing press.},
