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 printoriental
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.
