Marketing - Retail
English term or phrase: Gutenberg moment
Referring to the impact of the Internet on retail sales.

A definition of the concept, from the The Web of Language blog:

"A Gutenberg moment is one which changes the way we produce and consume text as dramatically as Gutenberg's machine did."

In fact, the meaning seems broader, referring to any major transformation or technological innovation.

Will a French retailer understand "un moment Gutenberg" ?

gutenberg moment
événement comme la découverte de l'imprimerie


Explanation:
L'invention de l'imprimerie est le plus grand événement de l'histoire. Il me semble qu'on mentionne plutôt "l'invention de l 'imprimerie" que l'inventeur Gutenberg.
