Before the printing press, books were copied by hand. That meant only a few people could read them. But when the printing press came, it was like magic, books started appearing everywhere, and suddenly everyone could learn new things. This made learning fun and shared, like how stories are passed from one kid to another at camp.
Examples
- A single book costs as much as a cow, but with the printing press, you can buy ten books for the price of one.
- Kids in a classroom now read the same stories instead of hearing them told by one person.
- The Bible was printed for everyone to read, even poor people could own their own copy.
