Document Summary
Gutenberg, 1454 printing press (little blocks put into printing press) Ends middle ages: move away from feudal society and dominance of the church toward capitalism. Ideas from afar could lead to social change and destabilization: the desire to control info vs. the development of voices representing diff interests. Ideas being able to be print and shared across time allowed for ppl to share over time. Control of historical narratives could be changed by getting their voice out. Early moments of early industrialization are still prevalent today. Transportation changed: railroad, steamship became v prominent in moving goods/supplies/ppl. Urbanization: ppl moving from rural places to newly developing cities, and factories located there (near the water -> resource for factories) Nuclear family: shift from big extended family living on farms move to smaller quarters, closed in areas lead to smaller families, small heterosexual family, mother father a few kids.
