The innovation that changed the distribution and consumption of written materials during the renaissance was the printing press.
A Printing Press is a device for applying pressure to an inked surface, on a print medium to transfer the ink. Thereby, printing information into paper.
It was a huge improvement, as it allowed for the distribution of information in a more effective and faster way, as well as "democratizing" education, by facilitating the printing of books, papers and any other way of printed information used for education.
