I guess that the big challenge to the powers that existed in the Medieval World, came from Caxtons Printing Press. Giving ordinary people the opportunity to read. And then, extending education to the working classes: revolutionary thinking! Needless to say, just about every generation has had to fight for such basic freedoms, and the current boundary is the Internet itself, meaning that anyone can read anything - and for free - this is creating a huge revolution in the way that we think and relate to each other. Obviously the powers that be are trying to control it.... they always do.
