Printing changed the world long before electricity, the internet, or social media ever existed. In this episode of Compact History, we explore how printing evolved from hand copied manuscripts and woodblocks into movable type, industrial presses, and digital print on demand. It is the story of how ideas escaped elites, knowledge spread at scale, and words became one of the most powerful forces in human history.
