How the Renaissance affects us. The Renaissance affected us by the printing press and paper. For printing they used either the wood block printing method or move able type . The move able type has  metal move able pieces you make them into the word you want to spell then you spread ink all over it then you get a piece of paper and then you just press down. The other method is a long one . You have to get a piece of wood and carve the thing you want to print then spread ink all over it then you get a piece of paper then press down then you have just printed something.
