Printing Press
Invented in the early 1450s
In Italy
By Johannes Gutenberg
Medium: Metal and Ink
I will start
in the early 1450s with the Printing Press invented in Italy by Johannes
Gutenberg. This was a time of wealth for Italy and the people wanted this to
continue. To do that, they wanted to be able to teach their children to conduct
businesses and to read other educational literature. This inspired Johannes
Gutenberg to invent the Printing Press so that textbooks could be made and distributed
to those that wanted to educate themselves. However, this not only was used for
textbooks but later for all sorts of literary works.
Johannes
Gutenberg and his invention shows the characteristic of learning of recognizing
what would make a big difference in society by observing and also learning how
to accomplish it. Not only that, this invention helped start the Renaissance
and encouraged the distribution of many books with different types of
information which resulted in a lot of learning in Italy and around the world.
