What do Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg and Johannes Gutenberg all have in common? They all represent a revolution in communication and information technology. Johannes Gutenberg, īman of the second millenniumī, was born Johannes Gensfleisch in the German town of Mainz around 1400. He is regarded as the inventor of the printing press with movable type, which ushered in a media revolution - thanks to his invention, knowledge could find its way to every level of society for the first time. This work is an homage to the great man and the far-reaching impact of his invention that is still felt to this day. 08:19
