HASTAC's prolific blogger Cathy Davidson reblogs the Chronicle's recent piece on Gutenberg-e's recent announcement that they are going open access. Her post coins two new terms -- New Technology Utopianism and Old Technology Nostalgia -- that she then uses to explain why it is that Gutenberg-e missed the boat when they thought that it would be cheaper to publish high-quality history on-line. The blog entry is worth the read for many reasons, including its concluding sentence: The failure of Gutenberg-e's economic model may yet yield its biggest triumph:  open scholarly access.
