The Power of Books
When visiting the museum of printing it was pretty amazing to see how powerful quickly printed books were. I was surprised to see how huge scientific and religious movements were made possible by printed books. With the printing press it was possible for the translated bibles of the protestants to be accessible to people. The printing press also made it possible for scientists to more easily share their work and have other scientists build off of it. After visiting the museum I have an new respect and understanding of the printing press and how it shaped the world we know today.

I thought it was really cool how they hand wrote all of the books before the printing press idea. I also thought it was cool that books started to become more wanted and that they had other people help them write the books. Then when they could keep up again they came up with the beginning idea of the printing press. Now it is used everyday all over the world. Amazing!
