Before the internet and smartphones, there was one invention that made it all possible: the printing press. In this episode, I dive into how Gutenberg’s 15th-century machine revolutionized the world — turning handwritten scrolls into mass-produced books, boosting literacy, fueling revolutions, and changing the course of human history.
Find out:
- Why monks used to copy books by hand (yep, for real)
- How wine helped invent modern printing
- What the printing press has in common with today’s digital tech
- And why it absolutely deserves a spot in my Top 10 Inventions
Laugh. Learn. Print.
Episode nine of my personal top ten inventions of all time series!
