The printing press is very, very old. It was invented before electricity, the telephone, and most modern conveniences. The printing press changed the world. The mechanical systems involved were first assembled in around 1440. A printing pressis a mechanical device for applying pressure to an inked surface resting upon a print medium (such as paper or cloth), thereby transferring the ink. Typically used for texts, the invention and use are widely regarded as the most influential event in the second millennium AD, revolutionizing the way people conceive and describe the world they live in, and ushering in the modern period.
