Handmade globes

When was the last time you used papermaps and globes? It must have been decades ago, because now there are applications that can show not only the location of countries and cities, but also indicate which door to enter a store or other building from. Moreover, using the Google Earth service, you can see how the planet Earth has changed over the decades - here is the instruction.

Is there a globe in your room? Most likely, many have already forgotten what it is

But before such amenities did not exist, andmany people in the rooms were globes. Particularly highly valued models of the Earth, made by hand. Today, companies that produce handmade globes can be counted on the fingers. One of them is the British firm Bellerby & Co. Globemakers.

Since manually creating globes takes a lot oftime, such products are expensive, prices start at $ 1,500 (about 100,000 rubles!). There are also few people who are willing to pay that kind of money. Therefore, in the future, these companies may be closed, and handmade globes will become a rarity.

Newspapers with handwritten text

As well as paper maps and globes, newspapersToday they have almost completely lost their popularity. Even older people find it easier to follow the news on TV - some have already learned how to use smartphones and learn everything new through them.

However, in India some people still readnewspapers. Moreover, the popular edition of Musalman is still handwritten. Specially trained people with good handwriting carefully compose each issue, after which the original is sent to the printer to make copies. This work requires perseverance and attentiveness, because due to any mistake, the text will have to be written again.

At the same time, he was light and thin, that people might not even notice his touch.
