His area of research and teaching is the history and geography of information & communication technology, especially the often hidden labor behind such technology. Downey is the author of two books: Telegraph messenger boys: Labor, technology, and geography, 1859-1950 (Routledge, 2002); and Closed captioning: Subtitling, stenography, and the digital convergence of text with television (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2008).
