A Tipping Point

So we've been talking about this tipping point idea/book for a while now, though I've not read it yet i have been thinking about it. I'm not sure if this example is in there or not, it probably is, but the reformation that we all know of the one with Luther et al, was not the first attempt at an uprising or reform in or away from the dominant Catholic church of the day. others tried but the means of communication were too limited. the thing that most separated Luther's attempt was the printing press, the ability to spread mass info to many people in various places quite quickly and concretely in the form of the written word.
like i said, that is such a major one that it is probably in there, but i was thinking about it.

That example is not in the book, but it is nonetheless a relevant one.
