When was the printing press invented and by whom?
49 chars

Generation

The printing press was invented around **1440** by **Johannes Gutenberg** in Mainz, Germany. Gutenberg's key innovation was movable type made from metal, which allowed individual letters to be arranged, used, and reused to print different pages. His most famous work was the Gutenberg Bible, completed around 1455. While earlier forms of printing existed in Asia (like woodblock printing in China), Gutenberg's mechanical movable type printing press revolutionized Europe and is considered one of the most important inventions in history, dramatically accelerating the spread of knowledge and literacy.
