Between 1899 and 1910 the living body became an object of measurement, controlled energy delivery and remote manipulation. How each of those three problems was actually solved.
Nine milestones over a century and a half, at the end of which a complete engineering discipline could be built from results none of whose discoverers were engineers.
Seven milestones in roughly a century, after which an engineer could calculate in advance what had previously only been learned by building.
Three milestones that made the interior of the body, and then the sequence of its instructions, into computable data.
Three uses of the same physics that each forced a different discipline into existence: spectrum management, bandwidth engineering and the statistical theory of detection in noise.
Three milestones that separated communication from place, made position and precise time a free service, and folded a dozen devices into one.
