The Printing Press

I think nowadays we take technology for granted, especially a simple thing like a printer. At work we have a large job due on Monday and all day I spent standing at the printer printing report after report after report. How did they do this in the old days...

Can any one think of any other simple piece of technology that take for granted and how something so simple can change our simple lives?
