There is an old saying: if you rest, you rust. The human brain is just like a machine which will rust unless it is used regularly. There are many ways which we can use to keep our brain energetic, such as learning, dancing and doing exercises. But did you know that games can also have the same effect and that this has been proven by many scientists? Studies show that brain training games can boost your IQ and enable you to exercise your mental capabilities.
The first person to actually manufacture the first practical typewriter was Christopher Scholes, who patented his second model in 1868 (this machine finally exceeding the speed of handwriting), along with the help of S.W. Soule and G. Glidden.
One of the earliest brain games is the Rubik's Cube (1974). With 54 separate cubes which need to be combined together, the Rubik's Cube is an amazing game which is played world-wide and is known as one of the three miracles in the brain games category, along with "Hua Rongdao" in China and Solitaire in France. The popularity of the Rubik's Cube goes that far that people even hold world-wide tournaments and competitions for it. Everyone wants to complete the cube in as few steps as possible and some of them even find themselves addicted to this cube, attempting over and over to become the best. To become good with the Rubik's Cube you should have a good sense of abstract thinking and also be excellent at coordination. Playing the Rubik's Cube can help cultivate a strategic plan and also boost your confidence because the player must deal with a lot of cubes at the same time. In order to complete the cube, good memory and hands-on work are also required, for that reason, the cube is also used in retirement homes to help the seniors keep their minds active.
"Hua Rongdao", also known as "Klotski", was invented by John Harold Fleming in 1932 but only became famous in China in combination with the story of the "Three Kingdoms". It is a very simple game with ten blocks in a square frame, and the final goal is to remove the biggest one from the exit without extracting the other blocks which are different in size. It is a game which has a big emphasis on strategic planning, cooperation and leadership.
Today the handbag is also known as a purse, but handbag history tells that the original meaning of a purse was a bag for holding money. Men and women in early history had no way to carry coins except in a drawstring pouch called a purse. What started out to be merely a way to carry personal items has also become a fashion statement. And women today have many choices and styles when it comes to selecting a handbag.
If you made a mistake it required a lot of rubbing out (including the carbon copies), or starting all over again. Tippex was not invented until the 1950s and even then it was a powdery paper type of substance (not like the fluid we have now). But before you used it you had to still had to tub out the mistake on all of the carbon copies first. And then it still made a bit of a mess, so accuracy was paramount.
In the 1970's a Remington was still used and most students had to complete an RSA Certificate of competence in typing. This took a lot of time and care and if an error was made Tippex was used to correct errors. In the 1980s computers became more and more advanced and of course today we have the modern computer (thank goodness for that)!
