In class today Mark had us get into groups of ten and we had to come up with as many inventions that we could that have impacted the culture/society.

All together the class came up with several inventions, but we all agreed that one of the most important ones was the printing press. The printing press made it able for us to produce a mass amount of copies of paper/ notes.

The Printing press is also one of the most significant revolutionary technologies.

Right now, we are in late capitalism, in the shift from literacy to electronic. Computers have greatly affected us and are one of the main reasons for this shift. Now a days, people tend to use the computer and internet for everything instead of reading books and writing on paper.

The internet is also very important to us. Most people use it almost everyday.

Over the years, the way we communicate has significantly changed, from cave writing to hieroglphics to Arabic to the alphabet to printing. Writing transforms how the world works. Tied to that is the alphabet but cave printing is just as important. Our early ancestors learned that a word could have a meaning and that sounds mean something. This is what makes humans human. They have the ability to understand the meaning of complex sounds and words and create a language out of them. A form of communication that they use to communicate to others.
