     Some technologies that I learned from someone else are typewriters and telegraphs. Typewriters were patented in 1867 by Christopher Sholes, Carlos Glidden, and Samuel Soule. The advantages to typewriters are less time consumption, less errors, better legibility, faster document production, and being able to keep records. The disadvantages to typewriters are job loss because it only required one person to print documents compared to the printing press, resource depletion and electronic waste, and physical strain from typing for hours. The impact of typewriters are changing the standard writing style, shaped modern writing practices, and contributed to the evolution of written communication.

    The telegraph was created by Samuel F.B. Morse and he created the Morse code in 1835. The telegraph sends electric signals across wires in short or long beeps to communicate across long distances. By the 20th century, all long distance communication relied heavily on the telegraph. The impact of the telegraph is that it created immediate communication across long distances. increased trade internationally, and expanded the market.
