@schoenswetter I generally agree with you; however, #AI is not #VirtualReality is not #AugmentedReality. AI is trained on most of the digital world's book, and thoughts, and thinkers. We are at a similar place in time when #Gutenberg and the #PrintingPress sprang forth. Or when #GoogleSearch first began.
@atpfm I believe I am roughly the same age as @siracusa and it’s not a 90s kid thing. CD-Rs are clearly S. The arguments of @caseyliss and @marcoarment were spot on. #printingpress.
Today, I learned that #Stalin once bought a printing press for his underground printing activities, made by the "Maschinenfabrik Augsburg". Nowadays the rusty remains are stored in the basement of a rotten museum in Tbilisi, #Georgia.
I recommend the comments on tripadvisor, #bookhistory folks:

Author of The Power, a 2016 feminist #ScienceFiction novel, said we are living through the “third #InformationCrisis”, in which #DigitalCommunications have eroded #InPerson communication and entrenched disagreement.

Hi Fediverse,
Here's my #Introductions. Awkward maybe and long, but here it is.
I'm professionally associated with the printing technology and industry. Interested in printing, history and anatomy of the book, its parts and physical properties; traditional book binding and everything about it.
Lots of hashtags, but they say that's the way it should be.

Some research and teaching interests include: #bookhistory #bibliography #libraries #internationallibrarianship #specialcollections #rarebooks #finepress #printingpress #ucla #publishing #literacy #classification #knowledgeorganization #ko #biodiversity #pedagogy #teaching #academia #writing #travel #traveling
