with the invention of the personal computer and the Internet, a new age in communications
begins. now people could communicate fastest and more easily than ever before. Writing,
editing, and storing information became quick and easy. It was no longest necessary to write
draft after draft when changes could be made so easily using a word Processor program.
Messages, could now be sent in no time to anywhere in the world, without addressing envelopes
or licking stamps.
Century most early, around the year 1450 a similar revolution in communications had
occurred in Germany. This happened when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press.
Gutenberg was not the first person to use printing to copy a peace of writing. printing was
already being invented in China, where they used clay to print oriental characters. Small items,
such as posters and flyers, were already being printed in Europe too, using the woodblock
method of printing. Books and other largest works, however, were still being copied by hand. At
this time, books were usually produced only in latin, and only the most educated people read
them. Gutenbergs’ printing press was about to change all of this.
