“Johann Gutenberg and the Impact of the Printing Press” Johann Gutenberg is credited for the invention of the printing press, a monumental advancement in technology that changed the world forever. It has been regarded as, “one of the most important inventions in the history of humankind.” What was once a tedious process, became a fast, easy, and cheap way to produce great quantities of books. It granted public access to a wealth of knowledge never seen before. Rapid spread of ideas was the catalyst

Johann Gensfleisch Johann Gensfleisch, or more commonly known as Johann Gutenberg, created the movable type printing press, by using existing technology. Not much is known about his family, but they have influenced his career. His father, Friele zum Gensfleisch, taught the young boy how to read which exposed his love for books as he grew up. Gutenberg pitied the fact that only wealthy people could afford to own books, so being inspired by his love of books, he decided to somehow create a printer

Celeste Sotomayor as told by: I spoke with Jeff, as he showed me around the entire place. He sold his offset press almost 10 years ago, so he currently does all his printing digitally. He believes that he has a better product that is more consistent throughout the print run with a digital printer. If he needs some special treatment, like a varnish, he will print the entire print run at Cox Printing and then send it out to another industrial printer to place the varnish. This, of course, increases

Johannes Gutenberg is known as one of the greatest inventors of all time. His invention, the printing press, made a big impact on the world. I chose Gutenberg because if it wasn’t for his invention we wouldn’t know a lot of information today. The printing press made it easier to mass produce books and cheap enough for the common man. Johannes Gutenberg’s exact birth date is a mystery but he is known to have been born in Mainz, Germany in1398. Most of early life is still unknown to this day. His

quantifiable evaluations focusing on printing production and the distribution of associated technology and scrutinized by the characterization of the extensive expanse of knowledge and ideas across Europe we will discover the invention of the printing press. A result of progress, among a number of allied industries, papermaking and goldsmithing were principal players. The thin paper-like material made from the pith of the papyrus plant was one of the most common writing papers during the the 5th century

Gujarati : Calligraphic form Gradually paper like birch-bark (known in Sanskrit as Bhurjupatru) came to be in vogue as writing material (the earliest mention of birch-bark is found in the accounts of the Greek writer Q.Curtius (Historiule Alexandri Magni, Q.R. Curtius, 1908) who writes that at the time of Alexander’s invasion of India the Indians wrote on bark; the earliest extant manuscript on bark belongs to the second or third century after Christ). The Himalayan regions produced this material

The renaissance was a time of intellectual development, with a new focus on humanism, and an abandonment of the prevailing church ideals, with this newfound appreciation on human potential, and scientific discovery shaped the time, and belief structure. In addition, this was the time where one might encounter, one or several of these remarkable talented Renaissance individuals, which ranged from artisans, to scientists, sculptors, philosophers, painters, and poets.

Imagine Martin Luther, posting a tweet beginning “#Let’s Debate, Indulgencies of the Church”. How long would it take that information to reach todays theologians and begin a debate? In the 21st century, we recognize communication as a basic skill that is mastered by an early age. Communication involves a variety of technologies used to coordinate the work of the Church in many nations, strengthen personal faith, and minister to the needs of others. Communication resources have become the glue

Technical Influences on Globalization The advancement of technology has influenced globalization greatly. Technology has allowed for consumers to become closer. Technology also has influenced the way countries communicate. From inventions that jumpstarted modern technology to the innovation of contemporary technology; the world has never been closer to one another. With technology continuously growing quickly it shows that future technology will be unpredictable. Such advanced technology will allow

Great discussion post this week! You have chosen some great artifacts from each era. All are great advanced designs for each era and truly fascinating to look at as well. Between the Saqqara Bird, The Morgan Crusader Bible, and The Gutenberg Press you can see each era’s culture through the artifacts and how they do all differ. It is funny to notice though that the Ancient Era and the Renaissance Era artifacts that you have chosen are both made out of wood. Even though these periods are during two
