Books and the Printing Press

Out of all the lectures so far, I feel like I personally have learned the most from the one on books. I already knew that they intention of the printing press was one of the most important and impactful inventions of all time, but I didn't know how many thing besides books we wouldn't have today or wouldn't have had until much later on. For example there would be lower literacy rates, possibly no public education, no standardized language, etc. These are just a few of the things that were made possible thanks to books and the printing press. As a whole, the books lecture was very interesting and helpful.
