jan 1, 220 - Creation of the Printing Press using Wood Blocks

Description:

This was created by Johannes Gutenberg, making this one of the instances of printed literature.

Insight: As I see it today, we take paper very lightly, knowing it is coming from a ludicrous process using natural material. Tree wood is precious and we should use it wisely and conserve.

Nevertheless, I see this invention as an important piece in progressing society.
