Second post
In our Tavels in Lyon and abroad we have learned many interesting things; however, I would say the printing area in Lyon has been the most interesting. It was cool to see the progression of printing throughout the ages. Even though I disagree with the guide because I think that the Koreans were the first to invent the press, I did find in interesting to see how the Guttenberg press worked. In addition, I enjoyed the insight how the printers would have enjoyed special rights in society because they could read, I had never thought of that before.

I find it interesting that you disagree and have your own opinion about who should get credit for inventing the press! I agree though that the Guttenberg press was by far my favorite And was quite complex in design.
ReplyDeleteI think Guttenberg deserves some credit at least, he put his own spin on printing and invented the machine to help make it quicker and easier than the Koreans earlier version
ReplyDeleteI had not thought about how much someone must know in order to print books, the knowing of at least four languages alone was surprising, but also reading and writing them all and the power/place in society that gave them was interesting to learn about.
