Thomas Jefferson - Technologist

Thomas Jefferson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Thomas Jefferson was interested in the technology of his time. Of course, printed books were the height of that technology. But, sometimes, it is nice to imagine him in social media and the Internet. In fact, he has his own Twitter feed now. Today's quote could just as well have been voiced today, if you substitute "the Internet" for "printing":

9.4.1823: “The light which has been shed on mankind by the art of printing has eminently changed the condition of the world.” —to John Adams
