It is Wednesday that means way back Wednesday on my blog. If
you read my blog yesterday then you would know that I planned on talking about
the printing press. I'm not going to
completely explain this like I did for the others. I'm going to mix it up! I
will stick to what I think is the most important about the news press. I think
that most important part was the literacy. This means people get the gift of
being able to read and write. You are reading this yes? Well you have the gift
of literacy. I am assuming that you went to school and learned and you parents
knew. Meaning that your parents and other adults have already learned. This
gift became available partly because of the metal printing press. Before this
only the wealthy could read and understand what things like the laws said. Now
it seems like everyone can read. If you think that the gift of literacy is not
the important thing that came from the printing press, then comment and tell
me! I am always open to feedback.
Way-Back Wednesday, clever. And without literacy I don't think anything we have today, technology-wise would be possible.
