About the Printing Impact on Man Exhibit

Often technology creates changes in society that are little understood or explained. The purpose of the Printing Impact on Man Exhibit is to construct an environment where viewers can discover the wonders of printing technologies and how those technologies are driving forces for social change.

Emphasis is placed on the novel little known facts about printing and its related technologies that have existed in the past, are currently being experienced in the present and will emerge in the future.

The results are intended to stimulate thought and understanding of paper based communications. Additional focus is on the unexpected, unintended consequences and impacts to society resulting from the use of printing technology.  Great attention and focus was made to integrate the community that the exhibit locations that it took place with local history and regional developments included.
