ohannes Gutenberg was a german printer who was born in 1395 and died on February 3rd, 1468. He made many contributions during the “rebirth of ideas” time period, also known as the Renaissance. One of Gutenberg’s greatest innovations was the invention of the first printing press. This helped writers a great deal with producing more of their product in a shorter amount of time. Gutenberg spent a lot of his time creating exceptional masterpieces of writing. This includes a forty-two-line bible that later got titled “the Gutenberg Bible”. He also wrote another work of art entitled “the Psalter”, which was the book of psalms. Johannes was a genius in this art and was even experienced in working with metal! Ultimately, Johannes Gutenberg is a very
In the early fourteen hundreds people adopted wood-block printing and engraving, which was an easier way to copy words down. A man named Johannes Gutenberg was not only a metal smith but a businessman as well. In 1438 he began experimenting with a metal movable type and got funds from two wealthy businessmen. In 1455 after completion of several working printers, the first copies of the bible were made. This increased literature and decreased the price of books.
Due to the advancement of printing technology, specifically Gutenberg 's printing press around 1450, notated music could be produced at a much higher capacity. The printing of liturgical books, however, did not commence until 1473, but it rapidly increased until Ottaviano Petrucci had printed 59 volumes of sheet music by 1523.1 Nevertheless, the process was slow and tedious. Grout and Palisca note:
Peter Schoeffer, Gutenberg’s son-in-law, who had testified against him during the trial, now joined Fust as a partner in the business. In addition to the Bible, Gutenberg’s other major achievement was the Psalter (the book of Psalms) which was also given to Fust as part of the settlement. The Psalter is decorated with hundreds of two-color initial letters and delicate scroll borders using an ingenious method based on multiple inking on a single metal block. The Psalter was the first book to display the name of its printers, Fust and Schoffer, but historians believe that neither could have developed such a sophisticated method alone and that Gutenberg must have been working for the pair in the business he once owned.Many of the city’s topographers fled to other parts of Germany and Europe, taking their techniques and technology with them. Gutenberg remained in Mainz, but once again fell into poverty. The Archbishop granted him the title of Hofmann (gentleman of the court) in 1465, which provided a salary and privileges for services rendered. Gutenberg carried on his printing activities for several more years, but little evidence exists of what he actually published because he didn’t put his name on any of his printings.Gutenberg died in Mainz in
Johannes Gutenberg, born 1395 A.D. in Mainz, Germany, was said to have apprenticed as a goldsmith, which prompted him to invent the printing press. Gutenberg began to trifle with metal alloys and minerals to create a lightweight metal that could be poured into a detailed cast and still be strong enough to last thousands of impressions. Gutenberg’s invention allowed for a simpler, faster process, and offered longer lasting materials. The instant effect of the moveable type printing press was influential in the expanse of human existence. Gutenberg’s most notable and first successful print job was the 42-Line Bible. From the moment of its inception, the printed book became the universal standard in publishing and literary devices.
In 1455 he was able to create the printing press and print the first book in Europe. This book, known as the Gutenberg Bible, marks the amazing achievement of the era. During the Middle Ages, people were unable to print, documents had to be rewritten and copied. By 1500, over a thousand printers were built around Europe. Gutenberg’s device revolutionized literature and production

Everyday people read newspapers and books, but where did printing begin? The movable type printing press by Johannes Gutenberg made this all possible. Johannes first conceived of this idea of the printing press in the 15th century in order to speed up the slow process of producing books (Bantwal). The movable type printing press, the first real technology of its kind, helped to solve problems, but in turn also caused problems. This technology did influence many areas of life in its lifespan. This includes challenging the church and poisoning people with the increased toxins from mass products of materials. Depending on one’s point of view, this invention could be the best or worst thing to happen during the 15th century. Regardless of
The concept of inkjet printing originated in the 20th century, and the technology was first extensively developed in the early 1950s. Starting in the late 1970s inkjet printers that could reproduce digital images generated by computers were developed, mainly by Epson, Hewlett-Packard (HP), and Canon. Although inkjet printers only appeared on the consumer market in the late 1980s, they had been under development for more than twenty years by that time. In the mid-1970s, printer companies realized the potential of the technology that would make dot matrix printers obsolete. The challenge, however, was to come up with a way to create an affordable inkjet printer that would reliably create high-quality print outs .In the worldwide consumer market, four manufacturers account for the majority of inkjet printer sales: Canon, HP, Epson, and Lexmark, a 1991 spin-off from IBM.[1]( "IBM Archives: 1990s". 03.ibm.com.

In 1350 the renaissance had begun, it was the time to bring back and restore many things from the past. Many people from the renaissance time tried to make a living on their own by painting and writing books. Although it seemed very hard to spread their ideas around the world but until 1444 their worries began to shrink. A man from Germany named Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press, which made possible for people to have copies of books and letters in much lesser time than they were used to. The invention of the printing press was one of most notable inventions from the last millennium because it brought very important changes and accomplishments in the whole world that we can still
As a result of this need, Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1436, along with Johannes Fust and Peter Schöffer, however Gutenberg is better known for the invention of the printing press, or the Gutenberg Press. Gutenberg’s first printing press had replaceable moveable wooden letters, which was later replaced by metal letters. The first printing press, was completed in 1440, four years after it was first invented. By 1482, there were a total of 100 printing presses in Western Europe: fifty in Italy, thirty in Germany, nine in France, eight in Spain and Holland, and four in England. The Gutenberg Press remained the standard method for printing until the 20th century. The Gutenberg Press is known for creating a revolution in the production of books, and for also for initiating rapid development in science, art and religion through the communication of text.
Johannes Gutenberg invented the first movable-printing press in the fifteenth century. The printing press affected Europe’s political, cultural, economic, and social development in the centuries that followed. According to Reader, “The eighteenth century saw a rapid expansion in the publication of books, periodicals, and pamphlets, which allowed wide dissemination of these new ideas, and with that, the early stages of public opinion” (24). The availability of paper and spreading of books, allowed various classes of people, many of whom had not previously been exposed to books, to read and interpret different ideas and publication. Access to different points of views caused tension between those in power and the lower classes. One specific example was the access to the Bible, which led to the lower classes questioning the foundations of the Church. In addition, the spread of ideas and power to publish their individual thoughts led to Enlightenment thinking and increased individualism. The idea that people should learn from their own experiences and learn to challenge what they are taught and search for real facts, made living in Europe with an educated, self-governing public possible.
The printing press was a major invention that was made by a German goldsmith named Johann Gutenberg in 1450. One of the most famous manuscripts, the Gutenberg Bible, was the first manuscript produced by the press. Another invention that changed the world was the internet and computer. The internet was made in 1983 by Robert E. Kahn and Vincent Erff and the computer was made by German Konrad Zuse in 1936-1938. Similar to the extent of the influence of the printing press one hundred years earlier, the internet and the computer have had a large impact on the world. They provide more intellectual knowledge, which increases the economy and spreads social communication around the world. All of which changed how people saw these inventions in a more
Luke 1:1-4 communicates and introduces the idea of revealing God’s purpose to all of us. We are called to spread the word of God’s everlasting love. As sons and daughters of the Lord, we must expose his story so his infinite love can permeate through the world. In my opinion, I think this passage instructs us to encounter God through the scriptures of Luke. Through our acts we can carry out the expression of love and kindness in order to fulfill God’s plan for each and everyone of us. In the passage we encounter the verse that says, “Since many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the events that have been fulfilled among us,”and I think this means that through these myriad of countless narratives, God has asked us to pass down the scriptures and traditions in order to proclaim his abiding words throughout many generations. (Luke 1:1).
