The invention of movable metal type by Johannes Gutenberg made mass production of the written word possible. This allowed for the efficient printing of books, pamphlets, and other written materials, revolutionizing the way information could be disseminated and increasing literacy rates. While word processors and keyboards are modern tools for writing and printing, they were not available during the time when mass production of the written word first became possible. Carved wooden blocks were an earlier printing method, but were less efficient and more time-consuming than movable metal type.
