    In the 15th century, an innovation enabled people to share knowledge more


    quickly and widely. Civilization never looked back.

    Knowledge is power, as the saying goes, and the invention of the mechanical movable
    type printing press helped disseminate knowledge wider and faster than ever before.

    German goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg is credited with inventing the printing press
    around 1436, although he was far from the first to automate the book-printing
    process. Woodblock printing in China dates back to the 9th century and Korean
    bookmakers were printing with moveable metal type a century before Gutenberg.
