What were the impact of print on society?

Answer 1

The impact of print, or the printing press, invented in Germany by a man named Gutenberg in 1440 was that for the first time information could be copied quickly and distributed to the masses. before the printing press all books had to be copied by hand which was time consuming and there were very few people who had the skills to do this. because so few books were made they were expensive and only the wealthy could afford them. the printing press made books and printed materials more available to the masses and quickly became the best way to swiftly spread ideas and information.
