Gunpowder and the Printing Press
I think they are both really important but gunpowder is way more important, gun powder lead on to many different more advanced inventions, but the printing press...there's not much important stuff that came with it after. And what power does the printing press have? Gunpowder has much much more, it's much more intimidating unlike the printing press. I don't know much about these things so that's why this is way retarded. You guys can disagree.

Before the printing press, books had to be hand copied. This made books very expensive, so only the rich could afford them. The printing press made it possible to produce less expensive books. This made it possible for the common person to read. Books influenced politics, religion, science, and society. I wonder if the power to changing a person's mind through books is more powerful than the power of guns. What do you think, Stefano?
well obviously they are both powerful..but in different ways..but true the printing press is actually really important
