<span>Gutenberg was instrumental in changing the speed at which the worldcommunicated. Prior to Gutenberg adding several changes together, to wind upwith his version of the 'printing press'. There were several 'ideas' thatpreceded him. The first advance was the use of block letters in a fixed frame,Then came the idea of moving the paper into and out of the press. Finally, wasthe use of a molton metal (Lead-tin Mixture) that allowed for the Type Patternto be recycled for every letter that was needed. The copying by hand , theprevious editions of 'the book', was a laborious process that required manyhands to copy out the text onto linen 'pages', and to make sure that what waswritten ,was accurate. [errors did crop in ocassionally]. Finally the scribeswere very upset when Gutenberg was able to reproduce texts faster than anyscribe was able to set about copying a volume of 100 pages or so(The Boook of.....) So while it would take up to 6 months to finish one copy of a book,Gutenberg was able to produce hundreds in 6-8weeks time. He was vilified in thelocal village gossip for causing the scribes to loose their work, but he felt itwas his christian duty to promote this 'invention' for everyone. In somerespects the church was not happy,but in others the church elders were happythat he donated time to spreading the word(s) of those books. AS the Book ofthe BIBLE was able to be reproduced in larger and larger quantities Gutenbergwas able to bring the costs down. SO as the costs became less, then more andmore people were able to afford (or were giver a copy aspart of their 'NEW lifetogether' as in a Marriage, then the copies were handed down through thegenerations. This enabled more people top read the books of the Bible.</span>

What was the ping-pong diplomacy and what were its effects? PLZ HELP
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Ping-pong diplomacy refers to the visit by table tennis players of the United States and China to each others' countries, which gave way to normalizing the diplomatic relations between the two nations.

EFFECTS

* On April 14, 1971, the United Stated lifted a trade embargo against China, which had been there since twenty years.

* China won for itself a legitimate position in the United Nations in the October vote. It also soon established diplomatic relations with other countries.

Explanation:

It all began when, in the year 1971, American table tennis players had gone to Nagoya, Japan, to play the World Table Tennis Championship. Here, one of the players, Glenn Cowan, missed the bus to get back to the hotel, and he was asked by a Chinese player to board their bus instead. In the bus, the leader of the Chinese team, Zhuang Zedong, gifted Cowan a silk brocade showing the Fuchun Mountains. The next day, Glenn presented a red, white, and blue shirt in return, which had a peace emblem on it, and the words 'let it be'.

Mao Zedong, on reading about this 'gift exchange' in the newspapers, had mentioned, "Zhuang Zedong not only plays good ping-pong but knows how to conduct diplomacy as well." On this background, Mao asked the Foreign Ministry to send an invitation out to the American players to visit China. PRC wanted its unfriendly neighbors to take notice of the possible change in alliances, which was why it initiated contact with the United States. The U.S. took it as an opportunity, too.
