How Did The Invention Of The Printing Press Affect People's Lives

The printing press was invented in 1450 by a man named Johan Gutenberg. He invented the printing press so he could print books instead of others writing them. He used wires to make the press and combined soap with oil for the ink. Before the printing press, monks would have to hand write books so they could be used or to be sold to the public. But books were also too expensive to make and so time-consuming, that many people could not afford to own books. The printing affects the people then because it allowed for many people to afford the books. It also affected the people's lives because they were able to educate themselves which lead to a well educated-country. The invention of the printing press inspired others to invent other unimaginable
Ts´ai Lun wanted to invent paper because he wanted a more lightweight and cheaper sheet. Before they had paper people often used silk on bamboo to write things. But because of the expense of silk and the weight of bamboo, Ts'ai Lun invented paper by using bark off of a mulberry tree in fibers to pound them together to make sheets. Paper could be the best invention because it let people read, write more, and create art. It easily impacted people because people were now able to have cheaper paper to practice reading and writing on. It also impacted people because it was more portable and less heavy to carry around. It also gave people more access to paper because it was cheaper. Paper also impacted now because, without the invention of paper, we would have the things made of paper today. We wouldn't have books, newspapers, and even toilet paper. Without paper, we wouldn´t have the knowledge we have today. Paper impacts you because it helps you record information and it lets you write and create art. You don't realize how much you appreciate paper until you don't have it

Also the invention of paper allowed the past generations to record their ideas down to past down to generations. Terhi Mikkolainenis said,¨Starting in the era of China's glorious ancient empires, records of historical events were written down in detailed logs which were carefully stowed for future generations.¨ Past generation ideas would also keep inspiring others to invent new and improved things. Paper also helped provide education because paper allowed for people to learn how to read and write. The article, The Invention of Paper said, ¨People may not know it but the invention of paper has revolutionized a lot of things like the very civilization and culture and education of people.¨Imagine life without paper, life would be so hard without it.
