Imagine you have to sit around all day and copy books. That is what monks and other scholarly people did. With the invention of the printing press they did not have to do this and the distribution of news, ideas, fictional writing, etc. was then able to be mass produced at a very high rate and more people were able to get their hands on the materials and educate themselves. An example is when Martin Luther used the printing press to mass produce and then distribute The Bible in German so that the common person could read it and not have to learn Latin as this was the language monks rewrote it in.

the compass, gunpowder, paper making, and printing
Paper was useful for recording information, like taxes and inventories. It was also relatively easy to produce, lightweight, and easy to write on. Paper was a highly sensible alternative to heavy clay or stone tablets. That is why the invention of paper was so significant in the history of the world.
Paper has reinvented the way we communicate, record history, and write down literature. It is portable, smaller, and thinner, and has triggered the inventions of new cleaning products, printing, and even foods. Close your eyes for a moment and imagine a world without paper. It is then that you will truly understand its value and importance.

Gutenberg incorporated these ideas and technologies by inventing the moveable-type printing press, a significant advancement that revolutionized the printing process.
