Nevertheless, Gutenberg left a legacy so priceless that its significance has been compared by some experts to the invention of writing and the coming of the internet. Indeed, in 1999 – 531 years after the death of the one-time goldsmith from Mainz, Germany – Time named him its "Person of the Millennium".
This isn’t the odd choice it might first seem. Gutenberg was the inventor of the movable-type printing press, a global game-changer that spread knowledge and ushered in cultural change in a way unmatched until the internet.
Mark Twain wrote: "What the world is today, good and bad, it owes to Gutenberg."
