Gutenberg Press

This film amazed me on how long the process took for Gutenberg to create a system to print. It took a lot of his time and focus to turn his idea and dream into a reality. It is also amazing how far our printing system today has come. We can print multiple pages in seconds. I feel sometimes we take printing for granted and dont think about how hard it was for us to get as far as we are today. Although we have all this new technology I still have larger respect for old printing styles because it takes a lot of personal time and care into creating one print. Printing was more of an art form setting type, inking the letters, then physically creating the print. Now all we have to do is click the print button on a computer and the machine does all the work. It was a very inspiring movie to watch because it reminds me if you take the time and care to do something It can be possible.
