29 feb 1440 año - Invention of printing press

Descripción:

The invention of the printing press was incredibly valuable to the Renaissance and to the spread of information. This lead to information being rapidly dispersed among the general public and increased literacy rates across the board. Without it, many ideas like the Protestant faith and the heliocentric system would come much later than they did due to the fact that they would not influence people in the way they did without the printing press.
