Up until that time texts and therefore books were written by hand which was time consuming and costly. By making a printing press available to print books and other manuscripts there was an increase to the volume of knowledge cheaply available to the common man. It is an easy equation - more books = more knowledge to people everywhere which helped people become smarter.

A smarter culture of people increased the creativity and as creativity increased the world saw the birth of The Renaissance.
