The Printing Behemoth Has Been Replaced

Gretchen Reed

Observations about how much things in our world have changed in size can turn into wonderment if a person remembers how, over a few decades, things that used to be small are now huge, whereas many other functional items have shrunk.

Recently, while typing and copying an article for the Riverside On-line Log, I thought back…
