Question

How did Gutenburg's printing press change education, society, and/or religion in Renaissance Europe? What are specific connections to how we still see the influence of these changes today?

Answer 1

Answer:

The effect the Gutenberg’s printer had on society was the sudden widespread of information.

Explanation:

1. Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press had an impact also on religion.

The Bible was no longer copied by hand, but was printed with the press at much higher speed. The Bible and other religious pamphlets in Latin were printed and distributed all over Europe.

Also, the religious ideas of Martin Luther were spread across Europe with the help of printing presses.

Gutenberg’s discovery had a big impact on the Renaissance, because it made possible to copy ancient philosophy books and scripts at higher speed.

Literacy was also improved in Europe, with the easier access to books.

2. It is considered one of the most important inventions of mankind. From then on it was possible to print and spread information very quickly.

This fact alone represents one of the biggest revolutions in human society. It represents one of the first steps of technological and scientific progress.

Without it, it would have been impossible to achieve all the developments of civilization, and the world as we know it today, wouldn’t be imaginable.
