How did Renaissance inventions affect the world?

One Renaissance invention was the printing press. This made books more affordable, and more people learned to read because of this invention. Books began to appear in the languages of the masses—English, French, and German among others—and this led to the growth of nationalism  Movable type also made books easier to mass produce, and this also helped to make books more affordable.
Another Renaissance invention was the violin, a mainstay in classical music and in American folk music (where it is known as the fiddle). While Leonardo da Vinci had prototypes and designs for such inventions as scuba gear, parachutes, and armored cars, these were not widely manufactured or used during the Renaissance period. The printing press, movable type, and the violin are three inventions that would have been used by the people who lived during that era, and therefore affected the world.
