Although Johann Gutenberg's invention was so spectacular and changed the world, his invention has no chance against the computer, nor should it have a chance. I think what he did started everything good intelligence wise anyway. Thank god that the Renaissance did happen, or we would all be dumb as rocks at this point as we were when we started. That's all beside the point of course because we are talking about computers and how they had a bigger impact on society than the printing press. Not only do you have a machine that you can type on and delete a whole paragraph at a time if you needed to you, but you also have a whole world inside this little machine that sits in front of you. I mean there are endless possibilities. For example with the Internet you can play games and communicate with anyone you want to around the world. The computer really had more impact on the spread of knowledge than Gutenberg's invention, but after all with no printing press, there would be no computer.
