4 The history of "information":! Why now?! Every age gets the history it needs: Gutenberg in the machine age! The monks around me besieged me so with eager questions: What is this curious thing? What is it for?...! "It is a public journal; I will explain what that is, another time. It is not cloth, it is made of paper; some time I will explain what paper is. The lines on it are reading matter; and not written by hand, but printed; by and by I will explain what printing is. A thousand of these sheets have been made, all exactly like this, in every minute detail--they can't be told apart." Then they all broke out with exclamations of surprise and admiration:" "A thousand! Verily a mighty work--a year's work for many men."""no--merely a day's work for a man and a boy.""they crossed themselves Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court, !
