What is the name of the inventor of the printing machine?
Gutenberg's printing press, 1430s. Movable block printing was invented before Gutenburg in China. Before that, block printing (using blocks of wood) may have started as early as the eighth century, particular to Japan, and China. Still, the method of block printing could hardly be classified as a mechanical press.
AnswerThe Guttenberg Press
Around 1455, a German craftsman named Johannes Guttenberg finished printing The Holy Bible on a new kind of printing press.
The Guttenburg press used movable type which allowed him to easily compose words and sentences. Before then, documents had to be copied by hand or carved into wood.
Guttenberg's invention brought a cultural revolution to the Western world, making books available to many more people, and creating an explosion in learning and commerce.
The first crude ballpoint pen was patented in 1888 by John Loud, an American leather tanner.
The next stage of development came almost fifty years after Loud's patent, with an improved version invented in Hungary in 1935 by László József BÃró (September 29, 1899 - November 24, 1985) and his brother.
It was john loud in 1888 ..and then redisigned by laslo biro in 1938.
It went through many developments and patents, first begun in 1888 by John Loud with the first patent. It didn't work well, even though he got funding to produce it in Argentina with the help of the government there, it kind of flopped. Something to do with gravity. It went through many more stages based on his patent, and in 1938 Laszlo Biro was given credit for inventing the first ballpoint pen. It still went on thru many changes to get to the one we know today.

Where does Narcissism come from?
genetics
________________________
The etiology of Narcissism is debated. Some consider there is a possible genetic predisposition underlaying this disorder. However, many more researchers agree that a person who develops into a fullblown narcissist does not suffer from a genetic disorder, but was abused, maligned, and unloved or offered love inconsistently as an infant, baby or child. The "golden child" syndrome is frequently mentioned as a formative N experience (where the parent projects all their own perceived deficiencies onto the perfection and perfect characteristics - whether real or imaginied - of their child) as well as experiences in very early infancy, babyhood, and early childhood that were somehow harsh and damaging enough to create an unforgiving and cruelly judgemental superego within the narcissist. The typical characteristics of narcissism are actually a reaction formation against this voice of cruel, impossible judging that accompanies the emptiness of the narcissist's soul, as they knew very early on they were not 'enough' to stand up to the vicious voice of the superego.
