Rock, paper or scissors? The printing press and Spotify as technological innovations
Keywords:
book, printing press, technological innovations, cultural conjunctures, digital universe, SpotifyAbstract
This article is a critical reflection about the cultural conjunctures caused by technological innovations such as printing press, in the Sixteenth Century, and the digital application Spotify, in the present. Both cases are explained from a critical view through three questions: Was the printing press a watershed? How did books plant modern thinking? Is there any present situation that can be compared to the phenomenon of printed books?
To answer these questions, this paper is constructed as an argument, with two premises and a conclusion. Worth mentioning is the fact that these considerations are the product of teaching practice within the area of Social Sciences and a response to the concerns about the future of education.
