Question

Not all that long ago, students taking a course like this one would not have had access to any digital technology and the resulting ability to share information so quickly, seamlessly, and over such a wide variety of communication devices. The invention of the printing press around 1450 was an equally earth-shattering innovation. Imagine yourself in the beginning of the fifteenth century, and in a letter to a friend, rant about a hardship you encounter without the availability of anything printed. (Your emotional state would be similar to the absence of the cell phone in present day.)
