The printing press had many important impacts on Europe. The printing press was invented by a man named Johannes Gutenberg in the 1450s. Before the printing press was invented monks had to write books by hand which was a long and time consuming process. However when the printing press was invented it made books easier and faster to create which allowed information and ideas to spread a lot faster than it used to.

The printing press was an invention that forever changed the world. Some may say that it was the most important discovery in terms of communication. The printing press affected many other discoveries as well as various major events such as the Age of Discovery and the Protestant Reformation. Both of these events were very important consequences of the printing press, however, the Reformation was the much more impacted consequence. The Protestant Reformation was affected by the printing press because it spread the 95 theses all over western Europe as well as spread the Gutenberg Bible, influencing and provoking questions about the Catholic religion.
By the 1500's, Europe had more than 200 printing presses. They were in cities around a bunch of different countries in Europe. There were two main groups affected by the printing press, the Age of Exploration and the Protestants. It started back in 1471, when there were only around 15 printing presses. In about a 30 year time span the number of printing presses rose to well over 200 printing presses.
The printing press was a very useful creation that helped influence many parts of history. In early European history there were two sides to the advancement of the printing press known as The Reformation and The Exploration. With the Reformation comes three documents: A, B, and C which outline the importance of spreading Protestant religion through the printing press. The Exploration comes with two documents: D and E which implements the printing press by documenting Christopher Columbus’ discoveries. When it comes to debating which side was the most important consequence of the printing press, many have differing views.
The printing press revolutionized the world as people now know it. Since kids humans have learned through books, and documents. But what if they would never have them? Would humanity still be illiterate and isolated, just focusing on religion?. The printing press was created by Johannes Gutenberg in 1450 giving people more books to read, the alphabet, and religion with the bibles he printed, making a huge jump on people's education. Even though the printing press was really influential in exploration times, it was more influential in the reformation era.
Henderson Printing is a small-to medium sized firm that manufactures account books, ledgers, and various types of record books that are used in business (Long, 2010, p. 512). This company’s compensation system will be analyzed based on the five contextual variables as discussed in the textbook. The environment in which Henderson Printing operates can be classified as stable, as well as simple. This can be justified, as the company produces stable annual sales, thus it can be concluded that product lifestyles are not short, and product and service demand is constant (Long, 2010, p. 40). Additionally, the product/service provided is fairly simple, and the technology is not complex (Long, 2010, p. 512). The
Following the Middle Ages, the Renaissance led to a boom of culture and innovation. Johannes Kepler was a man who took advantage of the blossoming culture by inventing movable type print, an improvement on the Chinese invention of a printing press. With these inventions, the fate of Europe was forever altered. The inventions of the printing press and movable type, had immense impacts on the lives of Europeans because they helped develop language, encouraged the spread of religious ideas, and ultimately led to crucial scientific development. The printing press was the main reason languages developed as they did in Europe.
In the 1450s the first practical printing press was invented by Johannes Gutenberg. This invention was a major mile-stone in the evolution of human communication. In the (Background Essay) it notifies that “The idea wasn’t new. The Chinese introduced woodblock printing in 600 CE.” This exploration inspired Gutenberg, and saw his chance to reform it into something even better. This made him ask himself “Why not metal letters that wouldn’t wear out, set in a frame that could be inked, papered and pressed?” in the (Background Essay). The purpose of this essay is to explain whether the exploration or reformation of the printing press was the more important consequence.
As André Gide once said, “Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.” During the mid-1400s in Europe, German inventor Johannes Gutenberg created the printing press, a machine that revolutionized the way ideas spread. The printing press quickened the production of books, speeding up the spread of information from one place to another; it also educated people in the areas of reading and writing. However, the two main consequences of the printing press were the Exploration and the Protestant Reformation. Although the Reformation was substantially impacted by the printing press, exploration was a greater consequence of the printing press because it sparked interest in exploration in the European citizens,
