Prior to the invention of the printing press, only the clergy and the wealthiest male elites could get an education, since learning required the use of hand-written manuscripts, which were produced one at a time. Once the printing press was invented, what media scholar Harold Innis called the "monopoly of knowledge" was finally broken-- now, not just a privileged elite could have access to educational material. More books were made available in mass quantities, and they could be printed quickly. This was also a gift for authors, who were able to see their works get into the hands of more people in more places, without having to wait for a scribe to create a hand-written version.
