Inventions






What modern invention has had as great of an effect on the spread of knowledge in our society as the printing press did on Renaissance society? Why?



The printing press was used to make copies of book so people have of their own. They would recopy bibles which gave people the opportunity to read it for them selves. It also made it easier on the monks who had to spend time doing it day by day. This was in their time. I think that in our time an invention that has had as great of an effect has been the computer. Instead of writing people type like with the printing press. They don't have to get a book out and search for information they can use the computer and get research. The computer is a way of getting in touch with friends over in other countries. They both have things in comen to me because they are both every popular in each era.

I think that your explination of how the printing press had such great effect on the computer is good. I also like the way you described the different things that each was used for.

Ok, but need more for the printing press' effect on Renaissance society.

Some small errors, but overall a good post. 17/20 points.
