Solution:
The 'Print Revolution' transformed the lives of people changing their relationship to information and knowledge and with institution and authorities. It influenced popular perception and opened up new ways of looking at things :
(i) Printing reduced the cost of books. The time and labour to produce each book came down and multiple copies were being produced with greater ease.
(ii) Due to easy access to books, illiterate persons could listen to the sacred texts of religious books, folk tales and ballads being recited.
(iii) Before print revolution, books were not only expensive but they could not be produced in sufficient numbers. Now books can reach out to wider sections of people.
