Emily Proffitt Electronics Assignment October 16, 2017 In 2007, the world was changed when Amazon released their first ever e-reader, the Kindle. The Kindle has largely impacted society by being able to carry hundreds of books, magazines, and newspapers in just one tiny device that is equivalent to one printed book. Ever since the kindle was released ebook sales have skyrocketed while actual paper book sales are decreasing. The kindle was sold out within the first six hours it went on the market, and while it faces some competitors out there, such as the Nook or the Apple iPad, it remains the most popular. According to the Association of American Publishers, e-books consisted of 6.4 percent of the total books being sold. However, in 2011 e-books popularity increased and represented one fifth of all total books being sold.

Raul Cuero's interview on creativity was filled with so much interesting information. In the beginning he talks about how both his parents could not read or write but he promised himself he would never be like that so he focused extra hard in school to be the person he wanted.

I loved watching the various different broadway clips. I've personally seen Wicked on broadway before and I absolutely loved it. The actor and actresses voices were amazing and everything went so smoothly. You never realize how much work goes into putting on a show but if you think about it theres a lot to prepare for. The costumes have to be made, the choreography have to be taught and learned, the makeup has to be done, lighting has to be perfect, and so much more.

I watched all The Co...
