Which Has Had the Bigger Impact, the Printing Press or WWW?

Read the this text and view the video below on the impact of the Gutenberg printing press.


Then read this article and view the video below on the impact of the World Wide Web.



Compare and contrast the impact that the Gutenberg printing press had on 15th and 16th century society and the impact of the World Wide Web on late 20th and early 21st century society (thus far). How are they the same? How are they different? In your opinion, which had the bigger impact (positive and/or negative)? Keep the discussion open and creative. (Post by Friday, September 18th)
