Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The “print revolution” had transformed the lives of people, changing their relationship to information and knowledge. Printing was more than just a new method of producing books; it altered 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 until the twentieth century. Thus 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 tavern and village gatherings. As a result, oral culture made its way into print, and printed material was passed down orally.
