It's amazing how the affects of the printing press have changed our world. Normally, I would have just thought, "oh well since Gutenberg made the printing press, we have books." Now I see that his printing press created a surge in discovery that affects our generation today.
Because of Gutenberg, we have different forms of Christianity. The spread of literacy inspired the Renaissance which in itself created a new era of art, music, science, and philosophy. Maps were more accessible which led to new discoveries all over the world.
The printing press has paved the way for other new and innovative inventions that are used to this day. It's so impressive that something that was made in the 1440s has affected the modern world in such a huge way.
