Gutenberg

Gutenberg was a German inventor who revolutionized the way books are made by inventing the movable type printing press around 1450. This technology allowed individual metal letters to be arranged into words and reused, enabling the mass production of books much faster than handwritten methods. Gutenberg’s press made books more affordable and accessible, spreading knowledge, ideas, and literacy across Europe. His innovation is considered a major milestone in the history of communication, playing a key role in the dissemination of the Renaissance, Reformation, and scientific advancements.
