Today's lecture is about the history of the printing press. Initially, I will discuss its invention in the 15th century by Johannes Gutenberg, focusing on how his movable type system revolutionized book production. Then, I will explain the rapid spread of this technology across Europe, which led to a dramatic increase in literacy rates.
