What effect did the inventionof the printing press have on the Societies?

Answer 1

It enabled them to read books both religious and non-religious something only the clergy and the noble people could afford. It opened a whole new world to thousand or maybe even millions of people.

Answer 2

One effect resulting from the invention of the printing press was that printed material was more readily available to the general public, and not just for the privileged, wealthy few who could afford scribes.

This therefore enabled books to be printed quickly and inexpensively, making them available to commoners. In turn, this had the result of allowing knowledge to be more available to everyone, not just those wealthy enough to afford it.

This also meant that new ideas could be spread throughout communities and countries through written materials (as long as the people could actually read).

People's awareness of their world, beyond their own villages, was increased.

A significant effect was how the printing press changed the role of the Catholic Church. No more did people have to accept what the church told them - they could now read it for themselves. In an indirect way, it led to the Reformation of the church, one of the major events in European history. Without the printing press and the availability of Bibles, Martin Luther may not have been in the position to question the authority of the church and to encourage people to study The Bible for themselves to see how Faith was the means to salvation, rather than "good works", as the Catholic Church had expounded for centuries.
