Written Information


Information has been written on stone tablets, papulas leaves and later on paper. All of these forms have one problem, they deteriorate to the point that they are no longer usable. Some of the significant inventions that have changed the way information is recorded have been the paper, the printing press and the computer (Gorman, 200).
The invention of the printing press revolutionalized the availability of information.
