As was mentioned in my last post, today was a continuation of the previous powerpoint presentation. We continued to move through history as technologies evolved and how those evolving technologies shaped the changing cultures.
The point of particular interest for this lecture was the introduction of the movable type by Gutenberg's printing press. This allowed for mass production, which changes religion all together. the power of the church was greatly reduced as people could now purchase printed copies of the bible and practice their religions in their own homes rather than relying on the church for all their information.
