So, who invented printing?
German inventor Johannes Gutenberg created the printing press in 1439, and enabled books to be mass produced for the first time ever…
However, 500 years before that, Chinese monks dipping carved wooden blocks into ink and pressing them onto parchment to create text – and by the early 1400s, the Chinese were even carrying ‘business’ cards around with them!
