Undoubtedly, the printing press, which was initially perfected in Mainz, Germany in 1452, had the prominent and significant role for the spread of the Martin Luther’s ideas. There are some arguments for the fact that the printing press was the necessary perquisite to the success of Lutheranism. Firstly, before printing had emerged, there were limited amounts of written materials because they were produced by the human’s hand and, therefore, most of people were not able to get access of data, especially those who lived in suburbs or villages. This means that the printing press allowed information to be shared and gained easily, people could obtain a text in their native language and check it by themselves rather than someone read them the Bible. Also it should not go without notice that since books became available for some village folks, they could be used to teach peasants and commoners to read and to write at a massive scale.
One achievement of the tang dynasty was there wood block printing. Woodblock printing is a special way of printing text images or patterns. This was widely used through out East Asia. This was known as the first method of printing. The method of wood block is prepared as a relief matrix, by cutting the white areas with knifes, chisel or sandpaper.
A man from Germany named Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press, which made it possible for people to have copies of books and letters in much lesser time than they were used to. Also, their way of communicating (like writing letters to each other or expressing knowledge through books) improved because of it. The invention of the printing press was one of most notable inventions from the last millennium because it brought important changes and accomplishments. The first support of how the printing press improved in communication is how Martin Luther took advantage of the printing press to spread around his ideas of the Church and indulgences. He was the creator of the 95 Theses in 1517.
4. Use the markers to draw a different colored dot on each of the appropriate pencil marks on the paper strip. Allow the ink to dry, and then go back and add more color to each dot. Before you complete the rest of the lab, make a prediction of the pigment components you expect to see from each marker’s ink. 5.
The printing press, by Gutenberg, has grown immensely since the 15th century. It went from being in a few towns in present day Germany to almost all over Europe in a matter of 30 years (Doc. 2). Although the printing press was such a revolutionary achievement, the most important consequences were the dissemination of the words and ideas of the people and educating more citizens. Also it began to stir up conflicts among the beliefs of the churches over time.
Because of this, authors were more liable to take care with what they wrote. Today, with word processors, and programs to check spelling and grammar, this activity is much less common. Instead of carefully considering both the original words and any correction, the ease with which ideas can be revised allows ideas to be written down without much forethought, as errors are easily dealt with. Technology evolves rapidly and what was considered new and unique becomes old and commonplace. The following three different types of literacy practices are all currently in use: Newspaper vs. Blogs Regular mail and phone are typically used for one-on-one communication.
Books are also a good resource as they include case studies and real life situations. Books also include a lot of information as books can be hundreds of pages long. Books contain a blurb on the back so if you're not sure that the book you have picked is relevant to what you need/want it for then you can read on the back to check. You can get almost any book you're looking for at your local library so you don't have to pay to read them. Newspapers are a good resource to use as they are really up to date as they are issued every week, they're probably the most up to date source you can find.
800 CE) and the language (Church Latin was codified in the palace school). Latin was now the language of learning, which made it possible for scholars across Europe to communicate with each other, but it also separated the church from the common people. The palace school also standardized the liturgy, based on Roman practice, and produced a new translation of the Bible based on Church Latin. Charlemagne ordered the palace school and the Benedictine monasteries (discussed later in this chapter) to make copies of all the Roman manuscripts they could find in order to preserve

The lauhala were made more pliable by running them over rocks or a tree branch. I also found sources saying that the Hawaiians used to pass the leaf through the smoke of a fire to soften it. The lauhala were stored by winding them around one’s hand until a roll of about thirty inches in diameter was created, called a kuka’a. When it came time to weave a mat from the lauhala, the strips were unwound from the kuka’a, laid out to flatten with rocks, and cut into smaller sized
