Gutenberg’s achievements and influence are of global significance. In 2000, American journalists voted him the “Man of the Millennium”, and almost every child in Korea knows his name: in 2016, the new travelling exhibition of the Gutenberg Museum entitled “Progress! Fresh of the Press!” showed a large public in several cities in South Korea the innovations and problems to which Gutenberg’s invention gave rise. New jobs were created for printers, editors, authors, illustrators, wood engravers, booksellers, type-cutters and type-casters. Rulers, reformers and revolutionaries made use of printing; literacy, general education and participation in political processes increased; and knowledge became democratised.
