Someone invented the printing press … one guy built one giant printing press and everyone got lazy and thought they could rely on this one guy to make all their books … until the printing press guy got greedy and thought he could charge tons of money for printing books that everyone thought they could have freely or at least for cheap
Other people decided to start building their own printing presses … the technology was already there … now there will be lots of printing presses everywhere … people get to have their books and read and write whatever they want
