I really enjoyed this presentation. I thought it was very informative and well put together. There were some interesting facts presented as well as good topic discussions. I thought that the discussion about how new technologies are always viewed with a little hesitance was very good. It is hard to believe that at one time typewriters were thought of as taking over the writing of the person doing the typing. This is much like the discussions we have in all of our classes. We always talk about how physically writing something is more personal and better shows the person's true work than if doing it through a machine. I also liked the presentation that focused on the history of typewriters and what first came out and how it was used. The failed technologies were quite interesting. For example, the eight foot tall machine that printed out text. How is that even practical? I guess it is somewhat like the really, really old computers that once took up an entire room and only printed out small sections of paper. Think of how far we have come in the past 200 years or so. Overall, the presentation was well put together and had a lot of good information to be shared.
