Why the Printing Press Will Kill Books
via Michael Hyatt

I tell you, sir,? he whispered, ?it is the end of the world. Never were known such excesses of the scholars: it is the cursed inventions of the age that ruin everything: artillery, serpentines, bombards, and above all, printing, that other pestilence from Germany.
