Imagine if we could show Gutenberg what has become of his invention. "We took the printing idea, made it work in 3 dimensions, and now we can print the printing press".
- eggy 6y agoI would imagine he would say, "after 580 years and that's it. Where are the flying horse and buggies?"
- blululu 6y agoWell we do have airplanes and they’re pretty impressive, but also pretty different from a printing press. The ‘where’s my jet pack’ mentality is born out of a very quick pace of progress. The delta from the 600 years prior to Gutenberg is substantially lower than th 509 years after. He would probably be impressed. The OP’s point about the generality of of modern printing technology is also interesting as it reflects market dynamics. Getting two different fonts on the same document used to be a stretch.
