| Friedrich Kittler talks about 19th Century/WWII invention and use of electronic telegraphy, the first technical infrastructure marking the early globalization of communication. Kittler's assistant, Tania Hron, presents the development of public transportation in Berlin; from horse to steam locomotive railways, electrified steam engines (1881) to electro locomotives (1897) culminating in the early inventions of trains and trams, connected by the U-Bahn (Alfred Grenander) and S-Bahn systems (Richard Brademann).
