I asked the wrong question, sorry.

Which has had a greater impact on society, moveable type press or download site? I think the press has established a paradigm that, like the Bible, permeates our thinking such that it is nearly an organic part of our thinking.

Every aspect of our culture is influenced such that there are few places on Earth that do not see mass-produced written language as a necessity. The same cannot (yet) be said for Internet. Will it reach parity in this century? Probably. This half-century? I think that's an open question.
