Many historians consider the printing press as the most important invention in history because from its creation it allowed the development and expansion of knowledge through the printing of books. Until that moment, knowledge, science and other theories that generated technological, economic, political and social development could not be broadly transmitted, because the books were written by hand by the monks, who exercised a kind of censorship over any question that was against religious principles.
For this reason, the printing press removed the monopoly on knowledge from religion, while increasing the ease of transmitting said knowledge, exponentially increasing the speed of human development.
