1. Printed Text

Photo montage of a towering stack of books and printed pages.

Printed books have many advantages. Through them we can distribute the knowledge of our culture to millions of people in exactly the same form. That sameness is also the disadvantage of books. The content is literally fused into the material, in this case paper. Because books are "one size fits all," they don't actually fit many learners.
