parallels
(discuss.tchncs.de)
parallel inventions in the 15th and 20th century:
- books (printed through the printing press) spread knowledge just like the internet does, allowing a facilitated and drastically accelerated exchange of ideas
- new transport methods allow new lands to be reached and new worlds to be explored. i wonder whether it is an accident that "spaceships" are called after ships
i think others have address the problem with the information presented. but my issue is whats up with 4 wildly different icons for these? the ship's flag touching the book barely is giving me the hibbie jibbies
