Answer:

The answer is "the production of written materials for the masses".

Step-by-step explanation:

Carving was the previous form of technology and took time and artistry. Carving a single article in a daily newspaper or a single page of a book was difficult and not efficient. Eventually, the concept of movable type evolved again in China. However, because of Chinese cultural restrictions and the complexity of Chinese characters, they failed to bring printed materials to the masses. The invention of movable type was a viable one but needed a sturdier format and an easier method of creation. This format turned out to be the Gutenberg printing press. I know this information is correct because it came from the assignment and I got the question correct. Have a lovely day!
