FORUM 3

This week, we looked at Visuals in Print. For most of human history the ways written communications were recorded and transmitted changed very slowly. Yet, the invention of the printing press began a chain reaction of technological innovation and cultural revolution that we are still experiencing today.

For Discussion Forum 3, begin by doing some further reading about Books and the Printing Press. Then, talk about how you believe the ability to leave printed records has fundamentally altered the world in which we live. What have humans been able to achieve since knowledge has been written down and mass produced? What role have visual illustrations played in that process?
