The thing i learned the most this week is how long and tedious the process from cuneiform to the printing press. It is astonishing to look at all the advances in such short time.

There are some really cool pictures on this site from my project.

The thing that popped out of my mind was the "shift happens" videos. I thought it was mind boggling how many people really are in Asia. This website is all about xerography aka. Xerox Machine: http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/xerography.htm

I thought it was so reaaly neat to fing out how the shitt happend when Mrs. Weser showed us the video. Everyones presentation was very interesting because you get to learn how people developed computers, printing machines and copy machines.
This is my video for Printing press 1000

I really liked the shift happens video because it shows how much the world has advanced and the ratio of different ethnic people. On my poster project, this was the most helpful site i thought.....http://ecommerce.hostip.info/pages/848/Personal-Computer-PC-Introduction-RISE-PC.html

This site was the only site that had anything about the history of flexography, which actually turned out to be pretty interesting

I looked at Colleens link and found it very surprising. I laughed at how many porta potties were needed. The music sounds kind of evil

Molly's link was very long and informative about adobe. Such as i did not know that,
"More than half of Adobe revenues are generated outside of the United States."

Last is Rudy. I like her site, caused it had pictures. I learned that pictures were used to find health problems.

I learned from Rudy's site that they had the first commercialized thermal printing plate. I learned from Stephanie's link how red green and blue combine to make all the colors that we print. I learned that the first picture was taken in 1827 from colin Pennington's link.

I learned from Rudy's website that Kodak lenses gave sight to the Mars Rover in 1997. I learned from Mr. Pennington's website that it took up to eight hours for a photo to be created. I learned from Stephani that digita; cameras use the additive primary colors red, green, and blue.

I looked at Molly's website and it was vey interesting because you can create your own web page.
Rose was very interesting because the word and images had to put onn the stone and iol based inks.
Rudy was very interesting because this days many company pruduce different kind of comaras and you can have a vidio camapra and your kodack camera.
