How did printing affect European society?

What will be an ideal response?


Printing changed how knowledge was produced and disseminated. Books could be produced at a much faster rate and volume, and the knowledge they contained could be preserved more easily. This led to advances in science and the ability to collect, organize, and analyze information, while the printed texts and engraved images encouraged geographic exploration. Also, a brand new industry was created for the production, dissemination, and sale of books. Images could be made at lower costs, with engraving becoming a widespread technique for image creation.
