Take Control publisher Adam Engst said, "Since we're located near Cornell University, the opportunity to participate in the recent celebration of the 200th birthday of Ezra Cornell caused us to think about the similarities between the telegraph boom of the mid-1800s and the rise of the Internet. Cornell played a key role in the creation of a practical telegraph system in the United States, and used his wealth to found first a free public library and then Cornell University. Were he alive today, he would likely be a great proponent of learning opportunities created by electronic books and other Internet-enabled technologies." [Bill Fox]
