When a photocopier in our department experiences a fault such as a paper jam it is myself and Claire that are responsible for fixing it. However if the photocopier still isn’t working after we have followed the instruction to fix it, we are responsible to call Sharples, the suppliers, and ask for them to send out an engineer to fix the problem. We would also place a sign on the photocopier to inform the other staff members that the machine is out of order and that an engineer has been called out.…

3D printing can print almost anything you want to a 3D version. Thomas Jefferson writes a letter to George Wythe that states “ Has there ever been one lost since the art of printing has rendered it practicable to multiply and disperse copies? This leads us then to the only means of preserving those remains of our laws now under consideration, that is, a multiplication of printed copies.” It’s important because without the multiplication of printed copies books would have not been in the same condition as they are now. They would been eaten by bookworms, not taken care of, and if there is a fire they could have been burned and had been lost forever. 3D printing is possible because the printing press had already been invented.. 3D printing can help since a spray can be made in the 3D printer to kill the bookworms.Francis Bacon states “ The Printing Press has changed the appearance and state of the whole world,” ( Bacon, March…
When the 3-D printing was first introduced it remained relatively unknown to the greater public. It wasn’t until the second decade of the 21st century that the 3-D technology became well known. The popularity of 3-D printing was mainly due to the mixture of U.S. government funding and a handful of commercial businesses who first made it popular. This combination created a new wave of extraordinary popularity around the idea of 3-D printing ever since. Nowadays, 3-D printing is extremely widespread and it’s used in various fields such as aviation, automotive, medical, and manufacturing.…
Throughout the state of Texas, there are many political problems, and they all revolve around one central idea. In Texas's case, some bases of their politics are a mixture between classical liberalism, social conservatism, and populism ("Political Culture and Political Ideology in Texas"). Classical liberalism consists of "doing your own thing", and is elaborated as political freedom as well as civil liberty independence ("Political Culture and Political Ideology in Texas"). Social conservatism is based on the traditional way of doing things, which explains why the Republican Party has had the majority vote, since Texas has always been historically Republicans ("Political Culture and Political Ideology…
3D printing has caught the eye of many people in the world, with all different types of needs. 3D printing could change the world in so many possible ways. It could cure hunger, end homelessness, help people with diseases, help fix pollution, and may lower the demand for money. A 3D printer may also be used in health, to cure people of diseases, for transplants, and used as a prosthetic.…
Many people have high hopes that 3D printing will bring about huge changes in American society. Some Americans even boast that 3D Printing will make America self-sufficient and rid of our reliance to foreign import. However, while 3D printing technology has a high potential in improving American society, it may be an overstatement for people to say that 3D printing will revolutionize all of America. Like other types of technology, 3D printing may have flaws in its uses and can develop serious consequences to America in the future. While 3D printing shows great promise in the eyes of many Americans, the question remains, are Americans ready to use 3D printing technology? I believe, however that (___).…
The printing press was made by the Chinese in the 13th century, but due to the amount of characters in the Chinese language it wasn’t very efficient there. The printing press was then discovered by Europeans through trade routes between china. Then in the 14th century Johannes Gutenberg invented the European model of the press and printed the first book the bible. After this many printing presses were made across Europe and influenced a lot of the culture. The printing press affected the renaissance, protestant reformation, and the French revolution by aiding in the spread of ideas during each time period.…
One of these industries is architecture, construction, and engineering. Architects are using 3D printing to save time when putting together their scale models. In the future there will be no limitations to their designs; the reason for this being that construction companies are now experimenting with 3D printing to build parts of buildings. They have started to print using concrete and have been able to print up some wild angles and designs. These were difficult to pull off before because it was hard to make the form to pour the concrete. In the future architects and project managers will be able to work together and print sections of a building in one location, then move and assemble on sight. Just like architects, engineers are using 3D printing to print up scale models of their designs. With the advances in this technology they are able to print these items with moving and working parts.…
The technological progression in the last 30 years can be seen as very impressive. That the world wide web is only 15 years old is hardly to imagine for a sixteen years old teenager. Now a days you can do everything on your mobile phone by using apps, online banking, shopping, working, listening to music, you can even transform it in a baby phone. We are so used to all the technological feats that we becoming also more vulnerable. if we look at the 3D printer what allow us to print endless range of designs including fire arms. New technology can able us to create weapons in our homes in order to maim people is not what we want to take us.…
