Summary: 
Johann Gutenberg is popularly miscredited with inventing movable type in the 1450s. (This was invented in 1040 A.D. by Bi Sheng in Asia). His real contribution to the history of communications, however, was that he was the first man to successfully combine all the necessary printing components: type casting, ink manufacture, punch cutting, composing, a press and paper, into a single workable system and reach a point of technical efficiency which was not surpassed until the nineteenth century. Although another printer finished publishing his magnificent "42-Line Bible," poetic justice for his significant contributions led historians to attribute the entire accomplishment to Gutenberg.
