Event Description

8 січня. Всесвітній день друку

Перші комерційні друкарські машинки були представлені в 1874 році. Ви можете запитати, чому важливий набір тексту? Подумайте над цим. Як ви сюди потрапили? Ви взяли в руки свій телефон або відкрили ноутбук і ввели щось у браузері. Тепер ви тут і читаєте про набір тексту. Без можливості друкувати важко уявити сучасний світ.

Слово дня: “ПУБЛІКАЦІЯ" -  те, що надруковано, видано.

Вам подобається читати публікації відомих журналістів?

The word of the day:  home row (noun) /hoʊm roʊ/
