The Reading Revolution

The Reading Revolution refers to a period marked by significant changes in how people access, consume, and share written information. Accelerated by technological advances like the printing press and later digital media, it led to increased literacy, broader dissemination of knowledge, and a shift from limited, elite access to widespread, democratized reading. This transformation profoundly impacted education, culture, and society by fostering more informed and engaged populations, enabling faster spread of ideas, and contributing to societal progress.
