Both tend to wipe out lots of life, and help some other forms to flourish. But the term, %26quot;event%26quot; when applied to the world could mean things that occur over a rather long period of time rather than a short one such as a couple of hours when applied to humans.|||The invention of the printing press. Until then everything was word of mouth, with limited communication. The printing press was able to disseminate information, ideas, and all events on a mass level. It elevated mankind%26#039;s knowledge, and produced change by informing the populace of news. Large numbers of sheets of paper were able reach more people faster. It helped bring the world closer and where would we be today, if it hadn%26#039;t spread ideas and information about technology, science and medicine. Personally, I couldn%26#039;t live without my issues of Popular Mechanics. :)
