THE INVENTION OF THE PRINTING PRESS
The printing press was a wonderful invention that aided in the education of
many. But before we go into that, let me tell you a little about this contraption.
Invented in 1456 my Johann Gutenberg, he printed the Bible, now know as the

wrote stories and such. One such man was William Shakespeare. The printing press
aided him because his stories were able to be read throughout Europe, gaining his fame
and popularity. Another man who got help from the printing press is Johann
Gutenberg himself. Because he was the one to invent this machine, he got his name into
History books around the world. That is fame!!!!!!!

professor
So in conclusion, the printing press and a great deal of effect on individuals,
education, and society. Such great effects that lead down to even me being able to read
and write. I am very glad that this machine was invented, it has helped the world be
educated in so many ways. Can you imagine what the world would be like now, if
there was no printing press? I would rather not even think of it.
I got a 10/10 and a “very creative” on this paper. I reccomend only using if you teacher likes you.
