The Friday Bloggerlicious

Well, as I stated earlier, I think change is driven by changes in technology. Johannes Gutenberg, inventor of the Gutenberg Press, truly changed society. His invention changed the world, allowing books to be read more frequently, literacy rates to increase, and led the way through the Renaissance. His invention is still used nowadays, which is pretty amazing considering what a little percent of inventions are used 600 years later. His invention has practically influenced everything which we use nowadays. Everything from papers we print out to labels on water bottles has been influenced by this wonderful technology. His invention is yet another reminder of how individuals can have huge impacts on a large society.
