1. what was one impact of the printing revolution on european society?

One impact of the printing press was a general increase in literacy and education. This was because books suddenly became cheaper - until then they had to be hand-written, and so the monopoly on knowledge was generally in the hands of the church, who was responsible for re-writing books. 

One indirect impact was the decrease of the power of the church, who no longer had the monopoly on knowledge.
