EOTO Presentation Reflection:
During the presentations, I learned a lot about different inventions that have revolutionized the world today. The most interesting ones I learned about were Facebook and the printing press. These technologies have greatly impacted society, and their innovations are still used today.
The Printing Press:
The printing press is one of the most influential inventions of all time. Johannes Gutenberg invented it around 1440 in Germany. This device allowed many authors and news outlets to produce multiple copies of their work quickly and cheaply. This printing press could produce up to 3,600 pages per workday. This was insane because before, they had to handwrite everything they wanted to be published. This invention is still used today to produce books, newspapers, magazines, and any written work. Even though there has been a decline in physical copies, this invention is still very important.
Facebook is one of the most influential companies in the 21st century. It was founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Severin, Andrew Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes while they were students at Harvard. I honestly did not know who these other people were; I thought Facebook was only created by Mark Zuckerberg. Facebook changed the way we communicate with others. It was one of the first social media platforms to connect people from around the world. Even though Facebook has many positive aspects, it also has many negative aspects. Facebook has had negative impacts on people's mental health, privacy, misinformation, and much more. Something I found overall, Facebook has changed the way we communicate with each other and has helped people stay connected.
