 A technology that someone else did that I thought was interesting the fax machine. A Scottish inventor named Alexander Bain worked on chemical mechanical fax devices in 1846 and was able to produce graphic signs. For his effort of this, he has been rewarded a British paten for is Electric Printing Telegrapher. Another inventor named Fredrick Bakewell helped make improvements to Alexander Bain’s design and demonstrated a telefax machine. The first fax machine that became popular was by Xerox in 1964. Xerox introduced the first commercialized version of the modern fax machine called the Long Distance Xerography. Two years later Xerox released the Magnafax Xerography. In the ’70s faxing became more popular in the world and people continued to make the fax machines smaller. The fax machine is still in use today and there is a reason why. The face machine is now used for the FBI because it requires fax requests for FOIA requests. Faxing has always been around in some form even before telephones were made. Today it is just a different type of faxing than before.

  The ted talks talked about privacy on social media. Many people put information out on social media and have later on in life regretted putting certain things on social media. You always have to be careful about what you post on social media because you never know what could happen in the future. It could affect your personal life and especially your career. Many people have done that and it’s something that you always have to consider when you post stuff on social media. You have to think to yourself if I post this am I going to be upset later on in life about it or will it affect my life in the future. You have to be super careful now these days because everyone is on social media and it is one of the biggest things that people use to communicate with others. Social media is a great thing but it is also a bad thing.

I was in a public school from kindergarten to fourth grade. My mom and teachers never really knew why I couldn't read and wasn't at the reading level that I was supposed to be at.

I ended up going to The Carroll School right near my house an...

  The presentation that I will be talking about is one group talked about the web and other subjects. The web first started by a man named Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. Tim Berners-Lee was a British computer scientist who was born in London. His boss didn't believe that it would work but Tim proved his boss wrong. When the web first came out not many people were able to go on the web because of the browser and computers that were used so they changed that. The web first came to the United States in 1991. The web was made how it is today in the United States. A man named Mike Sendall decided that it was time to collab with Steve Jobs and make the web for the company Apple. They first came out with computers which is what started their upbringing but the internet really took off and was used a lot when Seve Jobs came out with these computers. Although there were other computers such as Dell, many people switch to Apple computers. Once the internet started to really take off a man named L...
