What I have learned through the presentations about the printing press is that it was designed by the Chinese in the 3rd century.And that The Gutenberg press was what really started the printing press. The purpose for the parenting press was for them to keep up with the demand of books and text across the world. By creating the printing press there was a positive effect. The impact that it had on us was that it became easier for others to create books and text in a more affordable way. And by it being created in an affordable way it became cheaper for the customers. I also learned how the printing press works. First the image is pressed into a metal plate by a chemical reaction. Then water is rolled across the metal plate covering the image. Then the ink is rolled onto the metal plate across the image. And lastly the metal plate is pressed agents the paper to transfer the image. The printing press has had a lot of impact on today's world but there are some positive and negative things that the printing press has given us. Some of the positive things that the printing press has given us is that it is faster, cheaper, and more affordable to make books and text. It also allows uniform production of books and text. And it allows individuals to be able to be more informed and educated. Some of the negative things that the printing press gave us is that it emitted toxins from ink and paper. It also causes a widespread pollution in modern industrial areas. It also forced kids to work in factories. Overall I learned lots about the printing press that I did not know.
