I agree. Consider the explosion of knowledge and progress immediately after the 
printing press was invented. Printers were eager for materials to print, and 
compiled manuals on everything they could think of.

It's interesting how the Egyptian revolution is attributed to being enabled by 
the internet; similarly, I don't think the American revolution would have 
happened without the printing press.
