Movable type

Gutenberg’s combination of the printing press, type, paper and ink made the invention a success, and the process used made it possible to produce many books quickly and cheaply. The Gutenberg printing press now enabled a printer to produce hundreds of copies of a single work, and for the first time

The nature of humans has always been to put themselves above others. For centuries, bias has been present in almost every society; the idea of somebody being different than another creates obvious boundaries. Bias against people who are racially, religiously, socially and economically different from their counterparts has created wide arrays of historical imbalances. Is personal bias an old freedom or is it an idea that should be censored to preserve the emotional and in some cases intellectual well

Impact of the Printing Press The printing press had a positive impact on many different civilizations in the short term and the long term. The original version of the printing press was invented in second century China. This method was called xylography which was done on wood blocks. A new and more mobile version of the printing press was invented in 14th and 15th century China. Printing had just spread to Europe as the need for books increased during the 14th and 15th centuries. Europe used this

print and in digital. The type of text is also relevant. More serious consumption texts (work and study, notably) tend to lead to print, from fun to digital. These first two factors, size and type of text, should be articulated with whether it is a full text or an excerpt (a chapter, for example, for Study): complete text points to printed matter. Crossing the three elements, an ideal type of text, which would tend to be consumed in print. At the other extreme, second type Ideal, we have a small text

The world of Graphic Design is ever changing, and fast paced. Attempting to keep up with new ideas and trends can be dizzying along with tiring. We have already seen the invention of so much technology to get us where we are today, whether that be the Gutenberg Press or Apple’s Macintosh Computer. The future of design shows no signs of mercy in terms of slowing down, but just what does the future have in store? Before we can think about the future, we must first understand the past. Design can

Johannes Gutenburg was a German inventor that was born in Mainz, Germany in 1395. Although there were multiple innovations that deeply impacted multiple things that are still in use today, one of the most important ones was the printing press. Gutenburg's invention was one of the critical factors in the Renaissance. The printing press was proposed to the West in the Holy Roman Empire around 1440. It not only had a huge influence on the way citizens spent their daily lives, but also helped broaden

3D Printing Technological Advancement? I will be talking about whether or not we as a society should use the new “hot” product; the 3D Printer. Overall I am for using the 3D printer. However there are ways the 3D printer is not a great item to use. The first printer dates back to the year 200 in ancient China, back then it was called “woodblock printing.” However the use of printing did not become popular until the 1440’s when the printing press came out. 3D printing or Stereolithography is fairly

There did exist a pre-printing press increase and interest in scriptural availability which could be seen as precipitating religious reform independent of the invention of moveable type. In this view, the lay desire for textual access enabled the acceptance of Luther’s emphasis on the return to scripture, and furthermore prepared early modern Europe for the new technology: ‘The steady rising demand for texts in the late Middle Ages set the stage for the invention of printing’. Indeed, the process

After the fascinating discoveries from Marco Polo, another event that was significant throughout Western Civilization is the Edict of Milan. The Edict of Milan was a declaration that permanently established religious tolerance for Christianity within the Roman Empire. The outcome of the political agreement concluded, of course, in Milan, between emperors of Constantine I and Licinius, in February 313. The declaration, was made for the East by Licinius, granting all people the freedom of any religion
