I think that Wesley's response to the lecture on Gutenburg and the printing press was well written and made a good point about how young people today would probably never think about that as the most important invention in the world or it being the gateway to the world of mass communication.
If you were to ask many people my age today what the most important invention in history was, most people would probably say the internet. But after hearing the lecture on Gutenburg and how everything in the realm of mass communication, wouldn't exist. The development of all the innovations we have today would be much slower and many things may not have happened at all. I think Wesley made a great point about what she learned from the lecture when looking at it from the perspective of a typical teenager in today's society.
