It is to be borne in mind (and I speak here for the non-technical reader) that, as indicated in the above reference, the distinction and important part of the invention of Gutenberg was, not the production of a press for the multiplication of impressions, but the use of movable type and the preparation of the form from which the impressions were struck off. The art of printing from blocks, since classified as xylographic printing, had been practised in certain quarters of Europe for fifty years or more before the time of Gutenberg, and if Europe had had communication with China, xylography might have been introduced four or five centuries earlier.

Why Was Western Printing Superior to Asian Printing?

Movable type was not invented by Gutenberg but in China and later advanced in Korea, so why didn't Asia have a printing revolution?

by Erik Engheim

We like to think of Johannes Gutenberg as inventor of the printing press and movable type in 1450. Yet, the first movable type got invented in China around 1040 by Bi Sheng. The types were made from porcelain material. Later wooden movable types were developed by Wang Zhen around 1297. Koreans evolved the movable type technology further. In 1234 the first books known to have been printed using metallic types was published in Korea. It happened during the Goryeo Dynasty.

So, why are we giving Gutenberg all the credit for inventing printing? Because Gutenberg served the same role for printing as James Watt did for the steam engine. Neither of the men were the original inventors of the concept, but they made improvements so radical that they made the technology transformational.

Software tools and tips from and for professionals featured in this issue. There was also an article about the latest iteration of the Newton, the MessagePad 2000, called “at long last, a Newton we can recommend with a clear conscience.” Although it was more expensive than a US Robotics Pilot or even a Windows CE palmtop, the article was willing to propose some could use it in place of a PowerBook.

Review: "Observations on the Mystery of Print" by Hendrik Willem van Loon -

Van Loon succeeds in not only offering a concise history of ancient printing and invention, but usurping most of our mythology around Joann Gutenberg. An illuminating short read from 1937 that openly declares that it is not anti-German.

Wonderful Things That May or May Not Be Wonderful!!! The printing press could be called one of the most important inventions in the history of history. I mean books are pretty important too. Being able to write things down on a thin sheet of cellulose in order to be stored, shared, and savored is great. Problem is all that writing. I mean, you do all that scribery to make one book and then you have to do it all over again if someone wants to read the same book at the same time. Not very accessible. But that all changed with the invention of movable type via the Chinese and then the Printing Press via one German inventor. Now, it was much easier to mass produce any kind of book. Religious texts were the big sellers to start but works of fiction, political manuscripts, informative pamphlets, cookbooks, "adult" reading material, all were made more readily available to the general public and that changes a lot. Information can travel more freely. More people were incentivized to learn how to read. Businesses like writing and reporting could now be profitable. The sky (plus the amount of paper and ink one possessed) was the limit and it is all thanks to this wonderful invention! Now, go out there and read more text!

I enjoy the new mannequin-romancing direction you're going with your blog and I agree, they're very smoochable

II've always liked mannequins tbh, I've just never talked about it, till now! They're neat, and I'm glad that you see my vision <3

#My fav type of mannequin is a faceless one and who has lots of movable joints! #Like a life sized action figure #Monasks

I tried to convince the lady at the book printing press festival let me print, "Ronald Reagan's grave is a gender neutral bathroom" on the movable type printer. She said no unfortunately due to the festival she couldn't change it.

I complained about it to the sewing circle I found at the library and the librarian in charge said they have a movable type press in the basement I might be able to use.

I will be bringing my cross stitch to the library next meeting day.

Gonna post about our iterator OC now. Fun fact: Unit of Radioactive Decay's umbilical arm has significantly less range of motion than other iterator models, including other iterator models from their generation!

It prioritizes delivery of water and nutrients to their puppet over movement, which makes it a good bit clunkier than other arms - almost all of the joints in there can only bend one way, and the few that don't are only two-way, unlike an arm like Pebbles that more or less lets him bend however the fuck he wants.

In general, they tend to prioritize having parts that are easily maintained or replaced over anything else - kind of a necessity for them, but some of the people who originally dreamed them up would have an utter heart attack over the sheer number of substitutions present in their structure by now.

#some day we will draw this. not today tho #rain world #ocs #unit of radioactive decay #this also means that they have an actual consistent schematic for their arm that we. havent drawn out a ref for #we usually only draw out the first five segments but their full arm has eight #granted the ones we omit are the three big segments they collapse or unfold to change their proximity to the wall but yknow #they dont have the joints you see on normal iterator arms because that shit is A Hinge #their citizens cared for them greatly and highly movable and jammable components are a liability when youre prone to jamming #a lot of their equipment is simply what requires the least maintainance since maintained or not things Will break constantly #theyre built in a swamp. shit needs to be replaced all the fuckin time bc that was a dumb idea. #they were a ship of theseus type project when they were a research outpost #and now theyre a ship of theseus project that is breaking down regardless #the amount of redundancy in their structure is the only reason they didnt break down less than six months after ascension #and as is it mostly just lets them feel them slowly break and decay and feel their systems shatter and fall back on backups on backups #knowing that some day their systems will ultimately fail and they will fall #they were a “at this point it would be less effort to build another iterator but we've already put in this much work” project #to their citizens at least

Two (Renaissance and Printing Press) are hard-coded to only occur in specific European regions (Italy and Germany, respectively)

#rip bi sheng may you be remembered for once #my rambles #I mean tbf from what I can gather on the acoup posts on it this doesn't actually contradict what the printing press is used for- #-bc while bi sheng invented it like three centuries before gutenberg it never really took off bc of the way chinese is written- #-made movable type rather impractical (so many different chars you needed to print) as compared to yk german #so it didn't have the effect gutenberg's did #but like man #RIP
