    The medieval period saw many important inventions that shaped the modern world, including the printing press, microscope, telescope, and new war weapons. The printing press, invented by Johannes Guttenberg, was the most influential as it made information sharing much easier. The microscope, created by a Dutch father-son team, allowed closer examination of small objects and revolutionized fields like biology. Telescopes, which can be traced to eyeglass makers, were first developed by Hans Lippershey and are now used to observe space. A variety of war weapons from swords and armor to long-range weapons like crossbows were also invented during this time.

    The medieval or Middle Ages is a period of great invention and innovation.

    Most of the inventions during this period paved the way for the modern
    world we live in today. Their inventions are Printing Press, Microscope,
    Telescope, and War Weapons. The first invention was the Printing Press
    which was invented by Johannes Guttenberg and was probably the most
    important invention of the Middle Ages because it made the dissemination
    of information easier. The second invention was the Microscope which was
    invented by the Dutch father-son team named Hans and Zacharias Janssen
    and is used to see the object closer or to see objects that are not visible with
    the naked eye. It is commonly used in the field of biology and medicine. The
    third invention is the Telescope which was traced back to early makers of
    eyeglasses and lenses. It was first invented by Hans Lippershey and was
    improved in the succeeding years. It is usually used for space observation.
    And finally, the last invention during the Medieval Period was War
    Weapons used for offensive and defensive purposes. Some of the war
    weapons are swords (used among elite and common soldiers), crossbows
    and longbows (for long distances), armors (protect bodies in short ranges),
    and chainmail.
