People all over the world have access to and are able to read books.

    Johannes Gutenberg was born into a good family. His family and background was important on his impact to Europe. One instance would be that he was brought up in a family which taught him how to read, but in books that had been hand written. This impacted on his life because otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to create a printing press. Without this knowledge, he would never have known what each letter was and could have never created the printing press. Books had been hand written or block-printed, meaning he still had the opportunity to create something that changed the way we print.…

    Benjamin Franklin is famously known for using his knowledge to conquer many life achievements such as discovering lightening, co-signing The Declaration of Independence, and establishing the first American library, but all of his ultimate accomplishments would not have been established if he had not have found his niche for writing.

    Personally, I believe that without Johannes Gutenberg's inventions, the world definitely would have progressed slower than it did. Although Gutenberg's inventions are now seen as being dated or inferior because of how much technology has progressed, without them there would not have been anything to build upon in the first place. Had Gutenberg not created a "blueprint" for future inventors to gain their inspirations and ideas from the world would be a completely different place. What Gutenberg did was such a pivotal thing and he most certainly deserves credit for what he has done for the media world and mankind. However, whether or not he should be given the title "Man of the Millennium" remains quite…
