would have died a happy man if I were Gutenberg, because I would have made one of the best inventions in the world. Where would we be without printing books we would still be writing them if it wasn’t for Gutenburg we could probably only fill up like seven libraries out of the millions of them. For gosh sakes only really rich people would have books and the world would be a ton less educated.
