Question

1. what was one impact of the printing revolution on Europe society?

Answer 1

In 1436 Johannes Gutenberg began work on the invention of a new printing press which allowed precise molding of new type blocks from a uniform template and allowed for the creation of high-quality printed books.
Gutenberg is also credited with the introduction of an oil-based ink which was more durable than the previously used water-based inks. He tested colored inks in his Gutenberg Bible.
The printing press was a factor in the establishment of a community of scientists who could easily communicate their discoveries through the establishment of widely disseminated scholarly journals, helping to bring on the scientific revolution.
Because the printing process ensured that the same information fell on the same pages, page numbering, tables of contents, and indices became common.
The arrival of mechanical movable type printing introduced the era of mass communication which permanently altered the structure of society. The relatively unrestricted circulation of information and revolutionary ideas transcended borders.
