The printing press made books cheaper and easier to make. Before it, scribes had to copy each book by hand, that took a long time and was very expensive. With the printing press, people could read more, learn new ideas, and even start revolutions!
Examples
- A single book could now be copied in days instead of years, like how a printer can make hundreds of copies at once.
- Kids in school could read the same stories as their friends, no more hand-copied books for each student.
- People who lived far away could learn about new ideas because they could buy printed books cheaply.
