Who was John Gutenberg and what did he do?

Answer 1

You are probably referring to the German inventor Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press. He created the first one in the early 1450s, and it ultimately revolutionized communication, by making it possible to print and mass produce multiple copies of books. Prior to the printing press, books could only be produced one at a time in manuscript form (written by a scribe); the printing press led to faster publication of books, and later, magazines and newspapers.

Answer 2

Johannes Gutenberg was a German inventor who is credited with the creation of the movable-type printing press in the 15th century. This invention revolutionized the way books were produced and distributed, leading to a significant increase in the availability of printed materials and the spread of knowledge and ideas.
