A to Z: How Writing Changed the World #S47E12
Just as writing changed the course of human history, the evolution of paper and printing revolutionized the spread of information. The printing press kicked off the Industrial Revolution that fast-tracked us to the current digital age.

Episode 12 of Season 47 from NOVA — available to stream in HD on any device.
