Presentation Blog Post

 During my time observing and watching everyone speak there were a few topics that spiked my interest. 

The first one was the printing press because that is how the invention of books and even paper and newspaper became a thing. Some interesting things to take note of here was that once the mechanism was invented, the printing press made over 200 copies of books within a span of three years, considering this was made ages ago as well, which is quite a fast turn around. The people used oil based ink instead of normal ink since it could print and read easier. Prior to this invention, the thought of curating a book would take far too long due to the fact that scribes had to sit down and hand write them. Then, the scribes would re-copy and that was just Inconvenient and super time consuming. Due to the efficiency of this invention, production sales went down in price and the printing press was a huge success for 300 years. 

The next invention I will be talking about is the invention of Twitter. Twitter was originally a side project that was originally supposed to be where texts could be sent to groups of people. The appeal of this app was that you had 140 characters to fit in what you wanted to say, which makes this app successful to this day because in a journalistic aspect you got to catch the reader right away to take them into the Tweet. This is also used for a lot of social media influencers as well businesses. However, despite the benefits, Twitter is actually banned in quite a few countries due to the fact that some countries want to limit what their people have access to. 

Lastly, the one that interested me as well was the creation of Email. The creator, Shiva, actually got a copyright of the email at only the age of 14. The creation of it was super simple at the beginning and had to overcome many challenges until reaching a point of having an inbox, an outbox and a way to send and receive items and also organize them using folders.
