"Typographical fixity is a basic prerequisite for the rapid advancement of learning" (pg. 17 Eisenstein). This call to "fixity" as a requirement for the advancement of learning reminded me a lot of Turing creating the fixed system of binary through with information could be most effectively and quickly transmitted through computer systems. Without a fixed language for computers to communicate with, there would obviously be greater difficulty for quick transfer of information within a device's specific parts, as well as between other devices. The word "learning" Eisenstein uses served as a buzz word for me after having gone through how information and messages are perceived in the realm of mechanical electrical computers. If there wasn't a standardized Binary code that all information and messages could be boiled down to, processing would be more complicated and less streamlined which I image would slow down the computers functions (or ability to learn/ gain information).

When she later writes that "printing 'preserved and codified, sometimes even created' certain vernaculars", this too reminded me of the way we've seen computer language develop through our readings up to this point (especially the notion of creating "certain vernaculars") (Eisenstein 19). It draws attention to how greatly the medium can affect the message and even how we communicate/thing as a whole. When Eisenstein writes that the "editorial decisions made by early printers with regard to layout and presentation probably helped to reorganize the thinking of  readers" it makes me wonder how computer language and the layout of computers themselves have reorganized the way I think as a reader/user.
