Books

Around two weeks ago, in Mr.Miller's class, we had an lecture on my favorite topic, books! Now, it wasn't about the first book ever to be made, or how books were invented, we can use common sense for those answers; the main point of the lecture was to talk about a man called Gutenburg, who invented the movable metal printing press. This printing press was made century's before, but with his invention it was much easier to make copies of the same thing, i.e. make more than one copy of a book nor did it have to be handwritten. The invention allowed literacy to spread, along with religions, philosophical, and political thoughts and views, science/technology to be invented, an easier way to teach people on how to do things, like a Dummies book. It also gave us a way to write down history, and maps, which were and still are very important factors to our every day life.
