MY FAVOURITE INVENTION

By Julia Vintenko, 8 B

To my mind , books are the best inventions in the world.

But how were they invented?

Books were invented many years ago. At that time it was a revolutionary invention. Books were more comfortable than clay tablets and pieces of papyrus.

Nowadays many people prefer digital books, because they are cheaper and lighter than paper books.

The first digital book was invented by Michael C. Hart, the graduate of Illinois University. He downloaded The Declaration of Independence to his computer. He thought that all information could be download to the computer and then every person will have access to it.

Michael though that his idea will develop into the life in 2040.

But it happened much earlier thanks to scientists and novelists. They invented the Storyspace programme that helps navigate through the text.

Nowadays we have digital books. We can turn pages thanks to buttons. The modern digital book is comfortable and easy to use. You can take it with you when you travel. But scientists said that it is not the end and this device will develop in the future.

So I think that digital book has improved our world in a good way because now many books are not cheap and thanks to this new device we can download books from the Internet and read in our free time.

Thank you
