The Recent Arrival of the Printed Book
It might feel like books have been around forever, but in the grand scope of human history, the printed book is a relatively recent innovation. For tens of thousands of years, stories, knowledge, and laws were passed down orally or through handwritten manuscripts.
It was only around 1455 that Johannes Gutenberg introduced the movable-type printing press to the Western world. His most famous work, the Gutenberg Bible, is a stunning example of this early technology.
Compared to the entirety of human civilization, which spans hundreds of thousands of years, 570 years is a mere blink of an eye. This highlights how rapidly communication and knowledge dissemination technologies have evolved, with digital publishing being the latest major leap.
