Bob's feedback:

"You make a good argument for the importance of the printing press. Your claims are often too wordy, however. Consider the sentence, "The reason I believe [...} is the simple fact that we use it so much." This could be stated much more succinctly without changing the meaning. Likewise, the introduction and first body paragraph both circle the topic before getting to a concrete idea.

Since you are comparing and contrasting the two innovations (television and the printing press), make sure you give adequate time to television as well, rather than simply dismissing it in your conclusion. A strong paper would give an idea of what it has contributed but explain why it falls short of having the impact that the printing press did."
