Google has replaced their homepage logo a doodle
honoring Johannes Gutenberg the inventor of the movable
type printing press which led to the printing uprising
johannes gens fleisch zorlayden zum gutenberg was born
in Mainz Germany and while his proper birth date is unknown
he was given an official and symbolic date of birth of June 24
1400 by the city of Mainz with his early life johannes gained
expertise in metalworking particularly goldsmithing and
the minting of coins starting in 1436 using his knowledge
of coin minting, Gutenberg is said to have modified a wine
press to deliver ink to paper while his metalworking skills

were suited to the task of creating each individual letter
for the press in 1440 one year after a failed business
venture one that involved polished mirrors believed to
capture the light of religious relics johannes Gutenberg is
said to have perfected his research into the idea of
a printing press an invention that wouldn’t be in proper

operation until 1450 10 years later the printing press was
then supplemented by a team of workers who would
prepare and press each necessary page ramping production
up to 3600 pages per day and far faster than the task of a scribe
manually copying a text from there the benefits of johannes
gutenberg’s printing press caught on like wildfire with over
100 printers in operation across Europe by 1480
