His Memory lives on .. or does it?

"1468: Johannes Gutenberg dies in Mainz, Germany, where he was born sometime around 1400 (actual birth date unknown). Gutenberg, a goldsmith by trade, made one contribution to technology in particular and to civilization in general, but it was a doozy: the printing press, which made the mass production of printed material possible and revolutionized human communication" (source).

How long until the printing press is obsolete? How long until the master is forgotten? I would imagine, partly due to direct knowledge, that a large majority of school kids know not of the man or his contribution. Tempus Fugit.
