  • #10: Printing press ¨C 1st scholarly journals, allowed the easy communication of scientific discoveries.Authorship became profitable/ meaningful. This changed how people wrote. Because the same information landed on the same page things like, the citing of references, page numbering, tables of contents, indices etcChanged how people read ¨C from oral readings to silent private readingsChanged languate. Latin declined as the use of national languages increasedBoosted adult literacy. Increased peoples ability to get informationDevelopment of copyrigtht laws to protect the notion of intellectual knowledgeIn the industrial revolution Newspapers became possible.
  • #11: Large scale broadcast media. TV, phones, faxes, video, radio, photocopying, global travel, etc etc
  • #12: Currently, we are in the ¡®beginnings¡¯ of the digital age. And just as it would have been impossible in 1440 to predict the impact upon society of the printing press and later the impact of electricity, we are still yet to live through most of the changes in society that will occur during this digital age.
