Answer 1

Hand Printing : The earliest kind of print technology was developed in China, Japan and Korea. This was a system of hand printing. From AD 594 onwards, books in China were printed by rubbing paper – also invented there- against the inked surface of woodblocks. As both sides of the thin, porous sheet could not be printed, the traditional Chinese ‘accordion book’ was folded and stitched at the side. Superbly skilled craftsmen could duplicate, with remarkable accuracy, the beauty of calligraphy.

Print revolution in 16th century Europe indeed transformed the lives of people as it was the earliest kind of technology developed in China, Japan, and Korea. The calligraphy was remarkable and accurate.

In the 16th century, there was a shift from printing by hand to mechanical printing. Now, the books became less costly and easily available. The time and labor needed to produce a book came down.

To read those, people had to be literate. So, the illiteracy level became very low by the 20th century. Therefore, the printing revolution transformed the lives of many people.
