question
why was the printing press such an imp. development
answer
one reason learning spread so rapidly during the Renaissance was the invention of movable type. The Chinese had invented the type of carving characters onto wooden blocks. They then arrange them in words, inked the blocks, and pressed them against paper to print pages. In 1440, a German, Johann Gutenburg used this same practice to begin his printing press. He produced his first book, the Gutenburg Bible. In 1455 on this press, the tech spread rapidly. By 1500, presses in Europe have printed nearly 10 million books. Printing made it easier to make copies of a book. as a result, written works became available far and wide. Books were printed in English, French, Spanish, Italian, or German. More people began to read. The Bible was a popular book. After reading the bible some people formed new ideas about Christianity. These ideas were different from the teachings of the church. The renaissance prompted changes in art and society. Artists and writers portrayed ppl in more realistic ways and celebrated individual achievement. In a larger sense, the renaissance opened up a world of new ideas to people and led them to examine and question things more closely.
