The printing press and the spread of knowledge



Most definitely I think the computer is the machine that solves almost everything.
What would we do without the computer now days? Basically not much, with the computer we have access to the internet and we get all the information we need. We can now pay bill, shop and even communicate with people. It also used for jobs, school work, business and so much more. You can watch movies play games reserve a vacation, order food etc etc. With computers there is not a reason why someone would use a type writer they can if they want but it’s not necessary. I don’t even think they sell them anymore, unless it’s like an antique store.


Back then people had to copy books word for word and it was so difficult because if they would mess up they would have to start all over again and it takes days to finish. So when the printing press was invented it was a big effect on people lives it made making books easier even if it wasn’t as fast as a computer but back days it was an incredible machine who just made it easy. I don’t even imagine how people suffer from copying a book they didn’t have pencils or pens or of course no erasers.

Great details in your post. Needed to discuss how each invention improved the spread of knowledge in that society, but it is a good post nonetheless.
Some small errors that I can help you fix for maximum points. Good choice of pictures.
As is 25/30 points

Your blog is very pretty!
