The Greatest Invention of All Time The greatest invention of all time is the printing press, the printing press is the greatest invention of all time for a few reasons. The printing press allowed people to purchase books for a cheaper price and to learn more without having a teacher telling them what they need to know. The invention of the printing press also made a lot of the stories and information that people spread a lot more precise and correct. Before the printing press came to be,…

describe a situation, thought, or even another character, is one of the most cited reasons for banning a book. Supporters of banning say profanity can influence the actions and thoughts of readers, especially younger readers that may not have heard or read many corrupt words in books. Huckleberry Finn, a book commonly challenged for its use of controversial racial language, is one of those books that many view as damaging. Martha Moore wrote for USA Today, “When the younger reader is staring at…

say that the same has been true of me for a long time. But a writer needs readers, so… Along with virtual book tours, most of the experts I consulted at the beginning of this marketing journey recommended getting jiggy on Goodreads. Goodreads — a social media platform for readers — is simultaneously a cool thing and a desperately UN-cool thing. If you’re a reader you can learn a lot about books you might enjoy, interact with other readers and have discussions. In that sense, it’s brilliant. When…

to why books have such a great importance to life. First, Faber explains how books have both quality and pores to them, which means that books show how life really is. Books show how life has its atrocious moments and it’s not something like a TV show would produce, where most problems would be solved in no time flat. Reading books break that barrier of being fake and shows the reader how hard life can become for a person who is trying to survive in the world. Next, Faber explains how books…

technology. It’s everywhere, some of you are probably holding your phone in your hands right now! The effect of technology in our lives is beyond words. For this reason, it can be found humorous how some people prefer “paperback books” over state-of-the-art, cutting edge electronic books. These amazing instruments of technology are monumentally better for a plethora of reasons. I could potentially stand here all day and go over these reasons, but really all what’s necessary is three: they’re…

and announcements. I was sitting beside my classmate, Javier, when Ms. Seitz, with a smile on her face, announced that every person in the class would need to pick a book to read while on Christmas break. I, along with many others, began sighing and worrying about finding the time to read it. Eight stacks of hardback and flimsy books were laid on a brown table on the left side of the room. I got up and slowly walked over to the table. I picked up The Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri. I…

studying. On average 98% of college students have used their phone for educational purposes. 53% use their e-books a lot in college (Nelson, Mark). If the teacher is having difficulty teaching they could change the text to something that is more understandable to the…

demographic. I have read read a print book, e-book, and listened to an audiobook in the last year, and so therefore have read on all of the formats listed within the study. However, I agree with the majority that prefers to read print books. I generally read both print and ebooks, which fits within the 28% of those who do as well. I do this more out of convenience rather than preference, because the only time I read e-books is when I am unable to find a physical copy of the book.…

is 4 to 5 years behind every piece of technology you will be required to use? I pose this question, because some of my text books, mainly the text books on technological systems and programs were published 4 to 5 years ago, the world of technology moves so fast that by the time a book on technology is published it is already out of date. Is it at all possible for text-book to be able to keep up with the constantly changing technology that is being used in the fast-paced business environment? I…
