Printing made the Protestant Reformation possible. Its predecessors, the reformations of John Wycliffe in England and of Jan Hus in Bohemia, has met with an equally enthusiastic popular response. But those revolts could not travel farther or faster than the spoken word an could thus be localized and suppressed. This was not the case when Luther, on October 31, 1517, nailed his ninety-five theses on a church door in an obscure German town. He had intended only to initiate a traditional theological debate within the church. But without Luther's consent, the theses were immediately printed and distributed gratis all over Germany, and then all over Europe. These printed leaflets ignited the religious firestorm that turned into the Reformation. ——《Management Challenges for the 21st Century · Chapter4 Information Challenges》(Peter F.Drucker,1999)
