Google the Gutenberg

Arielle Kane – “In 1440, Johannes Gutenberg introduced Europe to the mechanical printing press, printing Bibles for mass consumption. The technology allowed for books and manuscripts – originally replicated by hand – to be printed at a much faster rate, thus spreading knowledge and helping to usher in the European Renaissance. Because information was easier to access, more people could benefit.

Why the European history lesson? Because Google has done a similar job.”
