   Then discuss: A) First read Howard column (1928), and then Fry’s article (2004). In comparing the two stories discuss how we can explain their different views of the dangers of mass-production and centralization of the newspapers.  B) How does this relate to the story of the Linotype?  C) In what ways does this reflect the history of Technology and Systems as presented in my lecture and Misa’s chapter?
