History of Print

This blog entry is based on History of Print about where it originated and who invented the art form of print. This piece of research I found quite interesting to find out how the industry of print was born.  I found the transformation and evolution in the history of technology very interesting and found this subject matter extraordinary, who'd thought print was invented in the 7th century! (14 centuries ago) is craziness and absolutely mind-blowing!

Anyway, Here's the notes that I took for this research below:
