I have decided that I am going to focus on the Gutenberg press and the history of printing. Forgetting about the comparison to the internet. I think by comparing the two inventions/technology it will make my publication too brief.
When researching the internet and how it began the subject really didn't interest me and I found it hard to understand the networking behind it and how the technology actually works. It took me back to ICT in year 11 and I just cant do it.
I have begun researching the Gutenberg press and I am going to continue to make a timeline. I am going to cover key dates in printing leading up to the Gutenberg press and then key dates in printing which happened after the Gutenberg press.
I am going to explain the importance of Johann Gutenberg's invention which made mass production of books possible explaining the technique and why it made the revolution of ideas and technology possible.

I had an idea today that my publication may take the form of a bible being that the first pressed book was the Gutenberg bible. I need to find an appropriate format for the timeline to exist on. I want a fold out timeline but I need to consider how the page will physically fold out in relation to the rest of the book. I have also been thinking about how to make the book resemble a real bible with enough content to give the book width.
How I Imagine my printing bible to look:
