When books started being mass-produced and publicly available, there was push back against those. Readers were portrayed as detached from reality, academic snobs, losers. Even today, there are significant political pushes to ban books and defund libraries.

Television, telephones, railroads, electricity, the printing press. There always have been (and probably always will be) people afraid of change who blame new technologies for the evils they see in society.
