Re: Gutenberg and www

Dear All,


I finded it as one related closely as we may say about "the Internet Web":
"Gutenberg and the Internet"

Book 1450

[image: Printing in 1568]

Gutenberg combined known technologies: ink, paper, wine presses, movable
type.


1990 The Web

Tim Berners-Lee (and Robert Caillau) created the Web at CERN.

Like Gutenberg with the printing press, they brought together existing
technologies (Hypertext, the internet, MIME types) and created a cohesive
whole.

The Web is now replacing the book (along with many other things).

Telephone directories, encyclopaedias, train timetables, other reference
works are already gone. Others will follow.

Books (as an artefact) will become a niche market. All information will be
internet-based.
