A Handsome Print(s)



 9 August 2011         New Media
Meet the Handsome Print(s)
• Print(s) is the oldest ruler of Medialand
• He was born around 1450, when Gutenberg invented the
  printing press
• At first he was a “high brow” ruler, courting and pleasing the
  gentry only (bibles, academic texts, etc)
• Later in his career he embraced the masses, making literature
  and news widely and cheaply available
• He is intellectual, proud, sometimes stuffy,
  though a generally popular leader. He’s not
  afraid to buck authority, is sometimes
  mischievous, and like, the rest of us, is
  fallible. Yes, he can get stuff wrong.

     printed publications, especially those
     that sell advertising space as a means
     of raising revenue.”

     server grows by a factor of ten each year as the
     world begins to take note of a new information
     phenomenon.
•    The Internet does not consist of a physical
     network. It is a loose system of connections
     between different computers, located all over
     the world.

  discussing work when not on the clock.
