Take a trip down memory lane and (re)discover the history of grids — from ancient Egypt to modern web design.

Johannes Gutenberg brought moveable type to Europe in 1439. He introduced mass communication to Western culture and changed civilization forever.

Johann Guttenberg--1398-1468. Inventor of the printing press. Truly, the father of the written record.

The invention that allowed the Renaissance to bloom was the printing press. It allowed this because it was the first time that common people could create and spread their ideas in a format that could reach many more people than if the ideas were spread by word of mouth. This allowed individuals to become more influential in society and move up in social ranks. (MolG)
