Speaking of resistance to new technology...

I read this today in a book called The Printing Press as an Agent of Change. When John Fust, the man who bankrolled Gutenberg, set out to sell the first dozen printed Bibles, he ran into members of the manuscript-copiers’ guild. The copiers were “alarmed at the appearance of an outsider with such an unheard of treasure of books. When he was found to be selling one Bible after another, they soon shouted for the police, giving their expert opinion that such a store of valuable books could be in one man’s possession [only] through the help of the devil himself, and Fust had to run for his life or his first business trip would have ended in a nasty bonfire.”
