Gutenberg goes green?

IF THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD…GUTENBERG INVENTED NUKES?

History—if we can believe  all that  mythology cluttered with facts tells us that it was on this day in 1456 Gutenberg completed the first  book printed with a “press” and of course it was the Bible.  I don’t want to throw shade on this but what if that’s just the story.  What if  the first book was really 

How to relieve yourself wearing  a full suit of armor “.  Or maybe it was really “101 Uses for Sheep?”   Well let’s move on because we can’t verify anything like this really….. Let’s say he printed this one book and it was the Bible and so it began.  Just like the auto workers and warehouse  workers of today do you think there were a bunch of monks wondering what isn’t the world they were going. To do with their  quill pens now?   

Anyway this is the first seeking peace and joy  point today….don’t worry about  your job become infected obselete or changing…because  it will and learning is your answer.  

Second, let’s imagine that books are  more than something that college bookstores charge a king’s ransom for and maybe conceptualize  them as the place where we go to get ideas.  Maybe the printing press was like the first oil wells pumping fossil fuels out  of the earth and at first  we only had a limited quantity.  Now about 2.2 million books are published each year and let’s not even try to calculate how much  information is now being shared electronically …. What  we have now is a reviewable  fuel source for ideas and although some folks are temp ted to control these ideas and refuse to admit how these ideas impact the overall learning environment….other folks are all for the research and development of new and innovative concepts and ideas.  Seeking peace and joy seems to fit.better with the idea of renewal and innovation.  There may be great value in taking the used  oily notions produced by McFries and using it to heat a pre-school classroom where we are teaching kids to draw “the cities of the future” or “what. A space ship might look like.”  

Anyway… here’s to Gutenberg and his repurposed  wine press…We might notice  that Jesus turned. Water into wine and then Gutenberg took a wine press and turned paper into a Bible…Coincidence?
