Printing Press and the Internet?

• The invention of the printing press was a major factor in the development of the Renaissance. Because of the printing press, people in Europe were able to read a large variety of printed materials and books. As people's interest in books grew, so did their demand for new types and kinds of books on all different subjects. In our time, the development of computer and Internet technologies has created an explosion of access to information and a demand for even greater access. Some people have even speculated that soon printed books will become obsolete and illiteracy will increase. What do you think? Write a brief essay (2-3 paragraphs) comparing and contrasting these two technological revolutions. Discuss the impact of each technology on literature and the pursuit of knowledge. Discuss what role you think the Internet will have in promoting or destroying literacy and what impact it has had on your own life.
