Is Gutenberg Be Considered In The Top 100 Most Influential People?
Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg should be considered in the top 100 most influential people of all time because he has shown many qualities of service and internationalism. Since he invented the movable type printing press, people brought newspapers and bibles into our life. Many people learned how to read because many more books were printed. Gutenberg benefited many people because people didn’t have to keep writing books over and over again, they could just print it and spend their time on other more important tasks. People all over the world have access to and are able to read books.
The movable type printing press works by simply inking the ink balls from the ink, transferring the ink from the ink balls by slowly dabbing them
onto the metal stamps, inserting a piece of paper into the printing press and then pressing the paper onto the inked stamps, to make a print. After his launch of the printing press he intended on opening his very own printing shop back in the place he grew up, Mainz after a little success. The printing shop is where he would print the Ars Grammatica, the German book of grammar used in many schools because that’s what he used to use when he grew up. Fortunately, he did achieve these goals.
Some would say that the establishment of printing in the 15th century has had the greatest impact on society in the history of man. Modern day critics believe that his work led to an "information revolution" that can be linked to what has happened with the development of the Internet today. Gutenberg is credited and universally recognised for the invention of the printing press. Which in fact in totality benefitted a decent amount of his inventions and processes, such as to mass produce printed books, which in turn is economical for the printer and the readers themselves. Some more countries like China were found to have been developing a printing press as well, although the key to Gutenberg’s work wasn’t just the development of a process for mass-producing a movable type but in fact also the use of high-quality oil-based inks. In contrast to the water-based inks, the modified oil-based inks were easily transferable from metal to paper. It was the stellar fusion of movable type, oil-based inks and of course a workable press which revolutionised bookmaking and made it’s way across the continent and later the world.
