Porous memory and the cognitive life of things. Sutton, J. In Tofts, D., Jonson, A., & Cavallaro, A., editors, Prefiguring Cyberculture: An Intellectual History, pages 130–141. MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 2002.

[first paragraph] Recent prehistorians of sound recording have recovered an exotic European fantasy of the early 1630s. A pamphlet called "Le courrier veritable" told Parisians of a strange sponte discovered by a Captain Vosterloch on a voyage to the South Seas. Local people used these sponges to communicate across long distances: a message spoken into one of them would be exactly replayed whenthe recipient squeezed it appropriately (Marty 1981, 10; Levin 1995; Draaisma 2000, 85-86).
