Journal # 3 Gutenberg

Johann Gutenberg often referred to as the inventor of the printing industry. What he did invent the first method is the use of movable printed letters and was printing machine that provides this possibility so as to the contents of the various written with speed and accuracy to print.

No invention exudate form of the brain of a person alone without intellect. Printing stamp of centuries before Gutenberg was known in China a 868 on the year that has been discovered. In the West also were familiar with before Gutenberg. Possibility of printing multiple versions of stamp of a book would provide the basic problem was but one since for any book has to be a whole series of new plates and carved wood letters and was done for the production of various practical and appropriate books. Sometimes it is said that the major share of the Gutenberg in the print industry has been the invention of movable printed letters. In fact the letters switch in the middle of the eleventh century in China by someone called "PI Shang" was invented. At the time the letters were with a kind of pottery to which would not much durable. Later, Chinese and Koreans in the making of printed letters cannot be there to move the amendments. Some time before Gutenberg Koreans of printed letters made of metal. In the early fifteenth century in fact Government of creating a workshop Foundry for the production of printed letters, metal support. Unlike all of these would be wrong if the PI Shang personally in this particularly effective person we know because the first Europe making movable letters printed in China, so when the new procedures in recent years new techniques learned from Western printing, never made public..

A new method for printing using the four major operating there should be present

1) Movable letters printed along with the typesetting system

2.) Printing press

3) Compound Suitable for printing

 4) Article is suitable for printing on it, such as paper

Paper many years ago in China by ts'ai lun invented and was in the West, as well as extensive a form to Gutenberg before using it. This is the only agent of the required factors that would quadruple the print ready form Gutenberg available. Although in the case of the other three factors before Gutenberg things were different, but several reforms and innovations and Gutenberg in each of them construct. Finding the right combination of steel to build the letters, oily ink, and printing and finally devised a press fit of the works for Gutenberg. But the overall share of Gutenberg in the printing industry is very large and beyond than any of these patents and reforms alone. The importance of Gutenberg is essentially for this reason that he is combining all the factors needed to invent printing production system performance.

The previous inventions contrary to all the printing industry is basically a mass production system. A rifle is a very effective arm alone from a bow or a spear, but a printed version of a book in and of itself is not something superior to the linear version of it. So the main advantage is in its mass production printing. What Gutenberg coined only a tool and a means or even do a wide range of reforms in what was not there, but also devised a complete production system.

The information we had about the Gutenberg so much. We know that he was born in Mainz city of German. His most famous work is Bible that about the year 1454 at Mainz, Of course, the name of Gutenberg in any of the printed work, even in the Bible Gutenberg that his equipment certainly is printed with, you can’t see his name.

Apparently Gutenberg was not a good businessman and a lot of money from his invention could not be achieved. He was caught in several lawsuits that one of them was convicted of his equipment fitting function entrusted Johann sharkash. Goteborg in 1468 and died at Mainz.

The next development in Europe and China with the comparison can be a picture of the effect of Gutenberg on the history of the world. At birth the European Gutenberg to speed the progress of China's progress, while that for a long time then not used the print of the stamp of the relatively. That's too of course would be if only the printing industry makes this difference we know but anyway this is a very important factor.

It is also noteworthy that the knowledge of elders in this book has been mentioned since they are the only three people in the five centuries ago lived from Gutenberg while the other sixty-seven people in five centuries after the death of Gutenberg. It could be that this form expresses the point invented a major factor may be the main factor Gutenberg and revolutionary improvements in the new era of China.

It is almost certain that if Alexander Graham Bell never found another person by phone not exists and at the same historical moment was invented. It does about many other inventions can also be said. But a new industry without Gutenberg the invention of printing was possible for generations to be replaced. Due to the impact of the comprehensive print on the next stream on Gutenberg it's certainly deserves a high category in this list.
