Imagine copying a whole book by hand, that's what people did before the printing press. With the printing press, books could be made quickly and shared with many people. That meant more people could learn and share ideas.
Examples
- Copying a single book took weeks, with the printing press, it could be done in minutes.
- A teacher can now give every student a copy of the same story instead of just one.
- Printing presses made books so cheap that even farmers and shopkeepers could read them.
