The Printing Press

 Up until 1436, the main way to write words or draw pictures on paper was by doing it handwritten. There was no way to print documents or artwork fast, so people had to hand write or draw documents one at a time. In the year 1436, an inventor by the name of Johannes Gutenberg came up with a groundbreaking idea that changed how people produced documents for the rest of time. Johannes Gutenberg was the person who invented the printing press. The printing press  is a machine used to transfer text and images onto paper using ink. This printing press was monumental for society and the way it functioned. It allowed people to spread information quickly and accurately, and made putting together things like books, magazines, and novels a whole lot easier, which helped make the population more literate at the time. Another thing the printing press helped produce is jobs. With a new way of printing involved, there would be positions needed to be filled for making and using these printing presses.
