Bio
Johannes Gutenberg introduced the concept of movable type and the printing press to Europe
While this may not sound like a big deal at first, the printing press is often considered as the most important invention in modern times
Without books and computers you wouldn't be able to learn
to share scientific discoveries
to pass on information
It wasn't that hard to write a letter to one person by hand, but to create thousands of books for many people to read was nearly impossible
Without the printing press we wouldn't have had the Scientific Revolution or the Renaissance
What did he invent?
Gutenberg took some existing technologies and some of his own inventions to come up with the printing press in the year 1450
One key idea he came up with was moveable type
Rather than use wooden blocks to press ink onto paper, Gutenberg used moveable metal pieces to quickly create pages
MOVABLE TYPE MILESTONES

Europe
With carved wooden blocks for about 100 years before a movable type system was developed in Europe about 1450

It took years for other people to finally accept that Darwin’s theory was based on factual science
However, even in our modern age, there are many who do not believe in the Theory of Evolution as it conflicts with their strong belief in Creationism, the religious view that all nature was created and born of God
