Detailed Solution

The above statement is true;
It was more than just a new method of producing books; it changed people's lives by changing their relationship with information and knowledge, as well as institutions and authorities. The printing process reduced the cost of books. The availability of books gave birth to a new reading culture. Books could only be read by the literate, and until the twentieth century, literacy rates in most European countries were extremely low. Printers began publishing popular ballads and folk tales that were lavishly illustrated. These were then sung and recited at taverns and village gatherings. As a result, oral culture made its way into print, and printed material was passed down orally. Print and popular religious literature stimulated many distinct individual interpretations of faith, even among the least educated members of the working class. Concerned about how popular books would affect people's faith, the Roman Church imposed strict rules on publishers and booksellers and began keeping an Index of Prohibited Books in 1558.
