LESSON ON THE PRINTING PRESS
EOTO #1 REVIEW
After completing my first EOTO assignment of the emergence of non-funigible tokens, also known as NFT's, I wanted to detail my learnings on the printing press. Naomi's presentation on the printing press captured my attention and displayed how massive of a benefit it has turned out to be for us in the modern day. The European printing press was invented in 1436 by Johannes Gutinberg, and was commonly referred to as the "Gutinberg press". Before the printing press was invented back in the 15th century, it was extremely difficult to get access to daily news without having connections with people that have the information. The main goal for the printing press was to allow for mass production of written information that can be easily distributed across each town. This new technology was key for several movements including the Protestant Reformation which relied on swift movement of the news to keep the public informed on what issues are occuring in their area.
The impact of the printing press also includes helping pull Europe out of the Middles Ages. This sparked an increase in literacy, along with more books and enhanced communication. In the modern day, the art of communication is so vital to our daily lives, and the printing press has proved to be one of the main reasons why we are so well developed technologically in the 21st century. Also, this brought about the dawn of the industrial revolution, which was incredibly important for our country to improve. These various invention of technology has led to several more job opputunities for people and allows for communication to be extremely easy.
