"In the 5th century, reading and writing were considered rare talents.
In a village, only a few could do it and they were called scribes.
They were like the coders of the past — translating human language and stories
into signs and symbols.
Scribes were responsible for preserving important knowledge and ensuring it
wasn't lost over time.
Due to their ability to transcribe spoken language into written one, they held
prominent status in the society of that time.
This profession flourished for centuries.
The stories and secrets they wrote still exist today, waiting for us to figure
out their meaning.
Fast forward to 1455, and history takes a sharp turn.
Johannes Gutenberg invents a revolutionary device that shatters the scribes'
monopoly.
Suddenly, reading and writing become more accessible, printed books flood the
market, and literacy rates soar.
The increased literacy and technological advancements led to a decline in the
prestige and economic value of the scribe's profession.
It made written information more accessible. The once-exclusive skill of
scribing lost its elite status, replaced by the printing press, and its mass
production capabilities.
Fast forward to the 21st century, where something terribly similar is about to
happen again.
But this time it will be for the people in tech."
