Question-1 Give a brief description of the first form of print technology.

Solution:
The first form of print technology used wooden blocks which were carved with words or designs. The carvings were in relief. These wooden blocks were inked. Then paper was rubbed against it. The markings now made an impression on the paper.
========================================================
Question-2
How did the urban population use the print media?

Solution:
Merchants used print in their daily life, to update trade information. People stated reading fiction, poetry, biographies, autobiographies, and romantic plays during their leisure time. Rich women began to read, and many women began publishing their poetry and plays.
==========================================================
Question-3 When was print technology introduced in Japan?

Solution:
Print technology was introduced in Japan around AD 768-770. Buddhist missionaries from China introduced hand-printing technology into Japan .The oldest Japanese book, the Buddhist Diamond Sutrawas printed in AD 868. It contained six sheets of text and woodcut illustrations
=========================================================
Question-4
Who was Marco Polo?

Solution:
Marco Polo was a great explorer. He was in China for many years and he learnt the printing technology from the Chinese during his years of exploration. He returned to Italy in 1295 and introduced this new technology.
=========================================================
Question-5
Why did the demand for hand written books diminish?

Solution:
The demand for hand-written books slowly diminished. Copying by hand was expensive, laborious and time-consuming. These hand written manuscripts were fragile, awkward to handle, and could not be carried around or read easily.
=========================================================
Question-6
How did the print revolution influence the reading habit of the people of Europe?

Solution:
Due to the print revolution the reading habit of the public increased, as books were now less costly. This was because the time and labour required to produce a book came down, and multiple copies could be produced with greater ease.
=========================================================
Question-7 Write a brief note on Martin Luther.

Solution:
Martin Luther was a religious reformer. In 1517 he wrote the ‘Ninety Five Theses’ criticising many of the practices and rituals of the Roman Catholic Church. A printed copy of this was pasted on a church door in Wittenberg. The Church was prompted to discuss his ideas.
=========================================================
Question-8 Write a short note on Indian manuscripts.

Solution:
India had a very rich and old tradition of handwritten manuscripts – in Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian, and other vernacular languages. Manuscripts were copied on palm leaves or on handmade paper. Pages were beautifully illustrated. These manuscripts were bound between wooden covers or sewn together for preservation. Manuscripts were produced in India even after print technology was introduced.
==========================================================
Question-9 Mass literacy increased many fold in the nineteenth century, in Europe. Women children and workers started reading books. Discuss.

Solution: Primary education was compulsory in the late nineteenth century. Children became an important category of readers. The printing industry now had its hands full by printing school books. A Children’s press was set up in France in 1857 which catered solely to books for children. This press published new stories as well as old fairy tales and folk tales.
The Grimm Brothers in Germany compiled traditional folk tales gathered from peasants and the book was published in a collection in 1812. Rural folk tales now had a new form.
Women became important as readers as well as writers. Penny magazines were published exclusively for women. They contained articles on proper behaviour and housekeeping. Novels became popular as women started reading them.
==========================================================
Question-10 How did the print media affect the women in India?

Solution:
Lives and feelings of women were written with intensity. This increased the number of women who took to reading. Liberal husbands and fathers started educating their womenfolk at home and some sent them to schools. Many journals began carrying writings by women, and explained why women should be educated. They also carried a syllabus and attached suitable reading matter which could be used for home-based schooling.
Superstition was a reason for illiteracy among a large population of women.
• Conservative Hindus believed that a literate girl would be widowed.
• Muslims feared that educated women would be corrupted by reading Urdu romances.
