The two research technologies that i chose is the 1600s typewriter to the 21 century laptop.

Typewriter:

Who: Created by Christopher L. Sholes, Carlos Glidden and Samuel W. Soule

Where: Well in the 1860s there were early typewriter invented in  Italy, Brazil, Austria, Denmark and the US. The first commercially sold typewriter seems to be the Hansen Writing Ball, which was sold in Denmark in 1865. But in 1867 the first typewriter to be commercially successful was invented, in Milwuakee Wisconsin USA.

When:1867

How: The standard typewriter had a wider plate a rubber-covered, steel cylinder for absorbing typing impact in the carriage the part that moved the paper into place that could hold oversized forms. The portable manual typewriter was smaller in size, lighter in weight, and equipped with a carrying case for easier movement and storage.

Laptop:

Who: Invented by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne.

Where: It was built around Palo Alto, California. There was no one specific place it was built (as it took a while to design and build). However, popular folklore says it was built in Steve Jobs' garage.Contrary to what other posters have said, it was NOT built by Steve Jobs. It was designed and built by Steve Wozniak. Steve Wozniak was working for HP at the time (in their calculator division).
When: It was introduced on April 1, 1976

What I hope to accomplish with this blog is to show alot of people that volleyball isn't just a girl sport, it's not just a sport were you just wait to get the ball, or it's not just a sport were yoou hit or pass the ball. I want to show people that volleyball is a game were you can let go all your anger and pretty much a fun game.

1. my first impression about laberdoodles was that they are so cute, and well i love dogs so. labordoodles are a tpe of dog thats hyper and fun to play around with or a dog that just keeps you happy. 2. reading the history of hersheys chocolate is now making me want some chocolate. but my impression of that is, it is so cool to know how, when they made it. 3. the tiffany nd co. blog is okay because it mostly well it is about jewlery cloths shoes and etc. but it is a cool blog like the colors. 4. my impression about vegetarianism is cool because being a vegetarian you don't eat meat just healthy stuff like salads and nothing with meat. to me if i turned vegetarian that would be hard. but reading on how eating alot of meats can give you severe problems.
