In 1450, there were few machines. Life was hard. Most people spent their time earning a living. Education was a luxury. Even if one could read, there was little to read. Reading matter had to be copied by hand and paper was expensive.

Most people were illiterate during Gutenberg's time due to limited access to education, high costs associated with obtaining books, and a lack of standardized reading materials. Additionally, the majority of the population at that time were engaged in agricultural or manual labor, leaving little time for formal education or reading.
