Tells Your Future

Talkat Wicked Good Ruby 2013 · 2013-10-12..10-13· [ruby-on-rails]
slides:none on file

A brisk, evidence‑heavy sweep from scrolls to computers: concrete claims (Gutenberg prints 160–185 bibles around 1455, presses reach 200 pages an hour), detailed tools and processes (sorts, punches, matrix, hand mold, lead casting, linotype keyboard, magazine, mold wheel, distributor), historical effects (newspapers jump from eight to forty‑eight pages), and the outcome (linotype replaced by computers mid‑1960s). Ends with specific prescriptions: mortality, ergonomic fixes, community work, open‑source and volunteer software needs rather than vague inspirational rhetoric.
