What was the impact of print revolution?

The impact of print revolution in Europe was as given below:
(i) A new reading public: A new reading public emerged because printing reduced the cost of books. Books could be produced at a faster rate and were available in the market in large numbers.
(il) New culture of reading: Earlier books were read by the elites. Common people were illiterate and knowledge was transferred orally. Print revolution transformed hearing public to reading public. Printers published popular ballads and folk tales and illustrated such books with pictures. These were then sung and recited at gatherings in villages and in taverns in towns. Oral culture thus entered print and printed material was orally transmitted.
(iii) Religious debates and the fear of print: Print revolution led to printing of debates and discussion on religious matters. All types of views, in favour or against, were published. This had great impact on the minds of the people. For example, Martin Luther’s Ninety -five- theses criticising the practices and rituals of the Roman Catholic Church led to a division within the
Church.
(iv) Print revolution and dissent: Print resolution led to distinctive interpretations of faith even among little educated working people. For example, Menocchio, a miller in Italy, reinterpreted the Bible in his own way that enraged the Roman Catholica Church.
