In this paper, I will discuss and defend why the printing press was the most useful invention and still is to this day. I will…

In the world of printmaking, the relief print is the most well known and commonly used form throughout the centuries. In relief printmaking, the parts of the printing surface that carry ink are raised while the remaining areas are cut away. The oldest kind of relief prints are woodcuts, where a (smooth) block of wood is used as the medium. Woodcut does not offers very little in the way of color, so most artists have to work in black and white only. If an artist wants to add color, he/she needs…

The design idea we had was modified several times. Initially the fingers that were constructed for the hand seemed to work and look fine in our Solidworks assembly. We did not want the fingers to be too large as the girl were were designing the hand for is only seven years old. However, after printing them, we quickly realized that they were far too small to be able to exert the force to grasp a water bottle.

The advancement of the writing enhanced the oral communication by allowing people to write down their thought and ideas to present orally to…

Have you ever thought about what helped lead us to our new technology? Printing presses have improved our printing. Instead of printing with woodblocks one letter per press, a easier machine was invented.

So, what was a more important consequence of the printing press; exploration or reformation? In my opinion, the printing press had a more important consequence of exploration because…
