     I feel that it is completely the man's fault not a video games. When someone says that video games had an influence on this man I feel this is not true. It was his choice to go on a rampage not the video games. This man should go to jail for not just killing all those people, he should also be locked away for putting this topic in everyone's mind. Video games do not kill people, people do.

     The Printing Press is the most important invention because people could print off books quickly and cheap. It also enabled a printer to make hundreds of copies of just one work. This made it easy for the poor to by books too because the printing press made books cheaper.

Industrial Revolution notes 2

     A society based around agriculture is called an agrarian. Production becomes faster in factories in the industrial revolution. Instead of being made by hand people just take care of one small portion of the process and this cuts work time in half. Now people are being paid hourly work pay instead of how much you make. Men are the only ones working at this point, but then women and children come into play and start working because they can do the same job the same way. People started to work more women and children because you could pay them less than men.
