Printing Press Impact

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 is often overlooked when it comes to the impact it had on music and music notation. The first impact the printing press made on music was making reproduction of music more widely available. This made it easy for the average person to read, sing, and play music. The printing press made it possible for composers to distribute their music. This led to the ability to purchase music from varied artist. Finally, the printing press allowed for music to be at social events. With the printing press people could gather with family and friends in informal situations and enjoy each other company. Music became more social and enjoyable, even leading to some people to preform as an entertainer to make money.

Ever consider what came out of the printing press when it became a big impact for people?

to come to conclusion with the question asked did the printing press greatly affect reformation or exploration it came down to exploration, although they both greatly affected europe in substantial ways reformation had bigger impacts in europe as for exploration had impacts in europe and later on towards the end of the millennium bigger impacts across the world leading to the new discoveries, new religions and technological advances that reformation and what martin luther did is not a bigger cause of the printing press nor a bigger impact than

Everyday people read newspapers and books, but where did printing begin? The movable type printing press by Johannes Gutenberg made this all possible. Johannes first conceived of this idea of the printing press in the 15th century in order to speed up the slow process of producing books (Bantwal). The movable type printing press, the first real technology of its kind, helped to solve problems, but in turn also caused problems. This technology did influence many areas of life in its lifespan. This includes challenging the church and poisoning people with the increased toxins from mass products of materials. Depending on one’s point of view, this invention could be the best or worst thing to happen during the 15th century. Regardless of

The printing press was one of the most important inventions in human history. It brought the world out of the dark ages, improved literacy, standardized languages, made maps infinitely more accurate and even improved the scientific community. Possibly the biggest impact that the printing press had during this time was its effect on religion. New translations of the bible were printed, the protestant reformation made possible, and several new religions would come about as a direct result of the invention of the printing press. The invention shook the foundation of knowledge, religion, and foundation, and it continues to do so to this day.

People would want to learn and read everything. The more they knew, the more easy things became. It allowed people to “self-think”. The more people wanted to read, the more books were printed. Document C explains this: “By 1500 an estimated half-million printed books were in circulation: religious works, Greek and Roman classics, scientific texts…”

Author, J. Baldius firm in William of Ockham, created an advertisement expressing the way scribes, people who make copies of documents, hand wrote before the Printing Press was created.(Doc 1) Prior to the Printing Press, people hand wrote books and drew illustrations that took many years to complete.When the creation of the moveable type took place, it allowed for people to create books at a much faster rate and it enabled for more jobs to be available. Moreover, the development of this invention spread all across Europe between the years of 1471 and 1500. In maps displaying the spread of the Printing Press from 1471 and 1500, the location from where they started were mainly in Germany, Netherlands, and Italy.(Doc 2) In 1500, there were nine times more printing press’ then there were in 1471 and in that year there was one printing press in every major city. The popularity of the printing press spreads knowledge throughout Europe and makes people realize that this invention was not only a necessity, but it was not even counted as a luxury. The development of the printing press was the most important of all the consequences because although it was the beginning, it sparked a new and easier way for people to spread their knowledge and ideas quickly but

First and foremost, the printing press helped to advance exploration. After its invention in 1450 it soon impacted the world of exploration. As shown in Document E due to the printing press Henricus Martellus’s 1489 world map was made to be more accurate by Martin Waldseemuller’s in 1507 because word spread after the first world map about the placing of the continents which lead to a clearer understanding of the world making it so that Martin could accurately create a map of the world. The printing

    The printing press inspired the most change in society between the 1300’s and 1700’s when it helped spread religion, scientific ideas, and literature. Before Johannes Gutenberg's great invention in 1456, books and documents had to be hand written. Printing 600 pages a day seemed like the impossible. In 1456 there was 1 printing press, then by 1500 there were 250. If it wasn't for the printing press everything would've stayed in slow motion.

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.

Johannes Gutenberg, a German craftsman, invented a piece of machinery that would later revolutionize the world in the 1450’s which was the wooden and later metal printing press. Before Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press, there was the development of language, writing with hieroglyphs, the alphabet and then printing. After Gutenberg finished this project, the printing press spread throughout the region at a very quick pace. Gutenberg's invention made the printing of lengthy texts possible by continuing to use existing materials. Because of how easy it was and how much faster and efficient this invention makes printing documents and books, this allowed more people access to these texts. Because of this, the most important consequence of the printing press itself would be the ease at which knowledge and religion could be spread. Knowledge is power in this time and is one of the most valuable tools.

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,

Gutenberg’s printing press was one of the most important inventions of the renaissance, as it has had a major impact on both the Renaissance and todays world of printing. The Gutenberg Press, impacted the renaissance by, making books and information easier and cheaper to reproduce and print, spreading more information easier and faster to vast audiences eager for new information, helping advance science and technology, and also by helping the economy grow stronger through creating new industries and the constant purchasing of books.

The printing press was a major invention that was made by a German goldsmith named Johann Gutenberg in 1450. One of the most famous manuscripts, the Gutenberg Bible, was the first manuscript produced by the press. Another invention that changed the world was the internet and computer. The internet was made in 1983 by Robert E. Kahn and Vincent Erff and the computer was made by German Konrad Zuse in 1936-1938. Similar to the extent of the influence of the printing press one hundred years earlier, the internet and the computer have had a large impact on the world. They provide more intellectual knowledge, which increases the economy and spreads social communication around the world. All of which changed how people saw these inventions in a more
