...LIBERTY UNIVERSITY THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN ESSAY SUBSITTED TO MS. LENNON HISTORY N221 D49 SYLVIA MORAN ORRUM, NC 11/14/2011 Benjamin Franklin was born on January 6, 1706 to Josiah Franklin and Abiah Folger. His father was a tallow chandler who relocated his family to the New England Colonies about 1682 in search of religious freedom. Benjamin Franklin started working for his father at a very early age which he hated. At age twelve he was bound as an apprentice to his brother, James, who owned a print shop where they quarreled often. His brother published the New England Courant and treated him as though he was a slave and often times beat him. During this period in his life a desire to improve himself and be free of the restraining ties which bound him was born within him. Through the help of a friend he was able to secure passage on a ship bound for New York. Thus began his journey of seeking to improve his circumstances in life and himself. Benjamin Franklin never received much of a formal education. He started school at the age of eight and ended at ten years old. His father intended to send him to college for an education and then dedicate him to the service of the church, but because of the financial difficulties of raising such a large family this proved impossible. Benjamin Franklin had developed a love of reading at an early age and therefore he began to educate himself through books. After arriving at his destination...

...contributed to our world civilization’s achievements in the fields of agriculture, shipping, astronomy, printing, oil, martial arts, ammunition and mathematics. Ancient Chinese inventions such as gunpowder, silk, paper, printing, tea, wheel barrow, iron plows, deep drilling, porcelain, toilet paper and the compass were and still are important pieces of Chinese and global life. These inventions were major blocks in the building of the world as we know today. The four main innovations which I consider to be essential aspects of our contemporary lives are paper, printing, gun powder, and compass. Certainly the most important invention of Chinese culture is paper. The invention of paper was a great contribution to both the Chinese and the world civilization. According to Sayre, it was in the year 105 A.D during the Han dynasty, that the invention of the paper was first reported by Cai Lun. Paper made of hemp had been used by the Han for over 200 years, but Cai Lun improved both the techniques and the quality of the paper by using verity of materials such as, tree bark, hemp and rags. The basic principles of papermaking invented by Cai Lun are still in use today (Sayre, 2012, p.226). Before the invention of paper, characters were written on animal bones, turtle backs, bamboo or stones. The storage of great ideas and paintings were a difficult task. Paper made it easy to express people’s thought in writing and educateing the people (Bellis, 2011). It has promoted and quickened the steps of...

...speech whose effectiveness has been worn out through overuse and excessive familiarity. * A cliche is language that has lost its freshness and registers with a listener or reader as overused and boring. Although the term cliché is often used to refer to language that has been overused over a long period of time, it is not necessarily true of older expressions, and by definition maybe true of new language that has been repeated too often. * A cliché is a traditional form of human expression ( in words, thoughts, emotions, gestures, acts) which due to repetitive use in social life, has lost its original, often ingenious heuristic power. Although ii thus fails positively to contribute meaning to social interactions and communications, it does function socially, since it manages to stimulate behavior ( cognition, emotion, volition, action) while it avoids reflection on meanings. The word cliché is drown from the French language. In printing, a cliché was a printing plate cast from movable type. “The essence of a cliché is that words are not misused, but have gone dead” (Clive James, Glued to the Box, Jonathan Cape,1982) Max Jacob: Le cliché est un mot de passé commode en conversation pour se passer de sentir. Cliché est un -Image négative d’une photographie. -Plaque de métal qui permet le tirage d’une épreuve typographique. -idée, phrase toute faite. Lieu commun, très...

...only invented, but they also made it new and improved. Cai Lun in 105 CE improved both the technique and the quality of paper. “Modern Technologies have simplified the process but the method of Cai Lun basically stays unchanged” today. (Sayre, 2012, p 226). The Chinese had developed a way to put print onto paper by carving words and pictures into wooden blocks, putting the block into ink, and then pressing it onto paper. This is very similar to the rubber stamp we use today for crafts and other applications. Each block consisted of an entire page of text and illustrations. This was very time consuming because if you made a mistake the entire page had to be thrown out. They were able to make printing improved and invented movable block printing. Movable block printing consisted of individual characters made out of hardened clay and...

...organization." Indeed, by early June 1995, many group and division managers at the $4.9 billion printing giant had yet to sign on to the strategic potential of digital technology or accept the Digital Division as the most appropriate locale for the business. Some still saw digital printing as a technology in search of a market. Others had indicated that if they did decide to embrace digital printing, they might do so on their own. These concerns were very much on the minds of Schetter and Mary Lee Schneider, the division's director of marketing, as they sat down for a meeting on June 7, 1995. In two weeks Schneider was scheduled to make a presentation to one of Donnelley's business groups, Book Publishing Services, which was deciding whether to move into digital technology on its own or to bring its digital work to the division. Schetter and Schneider were hoping to craft a plan that would convince the Books Group to come to them. But they were still struggling to find convincing arguments and the right set of incentives. Company and Industry Background R. R. Donnelley & Sons was founded in 1864. By 1995, it had become the world’s largest commercial printer, with 41,000 employees in 22 countries. A privately held, family-run, Chicagobased company for almost a century, Donnelley went public in 1956; the first outsider was named chairman 20 years later. Donnelley had begun printing telephone directories and the Montgomery Ward catalog in the late 1800s and still generated 60%...

...created that encouraged the development of daily newspapers. The first daily newspaper was 'The Daily Courant' in London 1702. Newspaper and Newspaper advertising have been the most important tools in shaping the growth and development of the modern society. More than anything, they have been very instrumental in bridging communication gap between people and contribute to the air of awareness in a society. One of the most crucial tasks of the newspaper industry is to contribute towards the economic and industrial development of a country through the assimilation of people's thoughts and opinions. WORLD SCENARIO The first newspaper in the world of which there is a record was 'Pecking Gazette' published between AD 600's and 900's China.

...For exclusive use IE Business School, 2014 Harvard Business School 9-197-040 Rev. February 19, 1998 Colorscope, Inc. Introduction Andrew Cha, the founder of Colorscope, Inc., a small, vibrant firm in the graphic arts industry, had seen his business change dramatically over the years. The rapid development of such technologies as desktop publishing and the World Wide Web as well as the consolidation of several major players within the industry had radically altered his company’s relative positioning on the competitive landscape. Preparing to celebrate the company’s twentieth anniversary in March 1996, Cha pondered the issues involved in moving Colorscope ahead. Company History Born in Anhui, China in 1938, Andrew Cha immigrated to the United States in 1967 to seek a better life. Originally planning to settle in New York City, where he would pursue his craft as a painter and his wife would attend New York University, his funds ran out in Los Angeles, forcing him to work as a cook and busboy in a downtown Chinese restaurant. Through fortune and hard work, however, Cha eventually found jobs that took advantage of his artistic skills in draftmanship and photography; a succession of promotions within one graphic arts company convinced him that his abilities would enable him to start his own business. Founded on March 1, 1976, Colorscope Inc. was established as a special-effects photography laboratory serving local advertising agencies in southern California...

...Newspaper readership is the people who read or are thought to read a particular newspaper. Decline in newspaper circulation and readership does not mean newspaper readership is aging. In fact, declining newspaper circulation and readership is happening at the same time with aging newspaper readership. Looking at the macro vision of aging newspaper readership, general social factors suggest that aging population and new way of newspaper reading by young people (i.e. reading online newspaper articles, reading free newspapers). In micro term, cohort effect, new reading style of non print news articles and cost of newspaper are three of the reasons why newspaper readership is aging. Aging of newspaper readership has impacts on societies and which aging readership has relationship to voter participation. Long-term Cohort effect and newspaper readership Cohort define people according to their birth of year (i.e. 1980-1989, 1990–1999). Cohorts are affected by age and the period of time that the groups grow. These make different cohorts have their only characteristics, and this is called as cohort effects. Cohort effect is further declining and aging newspaper readership. According to the characteristics of young cohorts, their readership level is lower than other older cohort groups.[8] Newspaper market does not target only the older cohort, young cohorts are also the targeted consumers of newspapers.[8] Comparing older cohorts to the younger, the way how the young cohort groups...

...The latest rage in technological gadgetry is the electronic reader (e-reader), a mobile electronic device designed primarily for the purpose of reading electronic (digital) books and periodicals. While this certainly sounds like a device that could only have been thought up in the twenty-first century, the original idea is credited to an “early-twentieth-century writer and impresario named” Robert (B0b) Carlton Brown according to The New York Times (Schuessler, 2010). Though there are many credits to Bob Brown’s name, he is most known for a manifesto written in the 1930’s in which he blasts the written word for not keeping up with the age (Schuessler, 2010). Brown writes: To continue reading at today’s speed, I must have a machine…A simple reading machine which I can carry or move around, attach to any old electric light plug and read hundred-thousand-word novels in 10 minutes if I want to, and I want to. (Schuessler, 2010, para. 6). Although Brown would not live to see his idea to fruition, today’s e-reader certainly fits the description of his “simple reading machine”. How It Works While there are many brand names of e-readers, the majority of them fall into two categories: wireless or not wireless. E-readers that are not wireless require the user to purchase their digital print media through their computer first, then connecting the e-reader to the computer to transfer the files. The wireless e-readers offer a much simpler system of turning the reader on, searching for...
