Rise of Digital Typesetters
The shapes of letters were now made from tiny little dots,
based on electronic pulses that were either ON or OFF.
“But letters made of little dots—that’s computer
science! That’s just bits, binary digits, 0s and 1s!
Put a 1 where you want ink, put a 0 where you don’t
want ink, and you can print a page of a book!”
- Donald Knuth
