How Did the Printing Press Change the World?

Before the printing press, books were copied by hand. That meant only a few people could read them. But when the printing press came, it was like magic, books started appearing everywhere, and suddenly everyone could learn new things. This made learning fun and shared, like how stories are passed from one kid to another at camp.
