History Of The Printing Press

The printing press was invented centuries ago and with its creation it brought many positive things to many generations. The main idea of printing press was to spread the ideas of people with people at various parts of the world. Since its invention, the printing press has not changed a bit. Certainly, due to various technological advancements, the quality of materials and timeliness of the press have enhanced, and the availability of materials became worldwide. But besides, all these changes, no other improvements were made. We, humans, like to see advancements every day. Every second we are seeking for the new ideas, new improvements that could facilitate our lives. Technological advancements brought a new breath to books. Nobody have anything

People usually find a middle between the digital books and physical books. Robin Sloan himself, mentioned that at some point he started using digital books more often, while having physical books too.

But we know that when it comes to all human knowledge, the ratio is just the opposite. In fact, OK, for most things that the most people know and ever known...and it is also in people’s heads, a lot of traditional knowledge. That’s what we call TK. OK and TK...imagine if we could make all that OK TK available all the time to everyone on the web, on your phone? No question would go answered ever again.” In my personal opinion, I think this quotation fully describes why Robin Sloan left his IT job in order to become a writer. Because, he was surrounded by people like Raj, who were fully against the physical books, and wanted to focus on digital books. Robin Sloan is not denying his use of digital materials, however his denying his use of physical books too. Books are history, some of the come from different centuries, however as Raj said “95% percent of the internet, was only created in the last five years?” How could someone compare the material that was created in half a
