Printing is a process for reproducing text and images using a master form or template.

The earliest examples include Cylinder seals and other objects such as the Cyrus Cylinder and the Cylinders of Nabonidus.

The earliest known form of woodblock printing came from China dating to before 220 A.D.

Later developments in printing include the movable type, first developed by Bi Sheng in China around 1040 AD.

Johannes Gutenberg introduced mechanical movable type printing to Europe in the 15th century.

His printing press played a key role in the development of the Renaissance, Reformation, the Age of Enlightenment, and the scientific revolution and laid the material basis for the modern knowledge-based economy and the spread of learning to the masses.

Sheet music is a handwritten or printed form of music notation that uses modern musical symbols to indicate the pitches (melodies), rhythms and/or chords of a song or instrumental musical piece.

Like its analogs – printed books or pamphlets in English, Arabic or other languages – the medium of sheet music typically is paper (or, in earlier centuries, papyrus or parchment), although the access to musical notation since the 1980s has included the presentation of musical notation on computer screens and the development of scorewriter computer programs that can notate a song or piece electronically, and, in some cases, "play back" the notated music using a synthesizer or virtual instruments.

An amplifier, electronic amplifier or (informally) amp is an electronic device that can increase the power of a signal (a time-varying voltage or current).

An amplifier functions by taking power from a power supply and controlling the output to match the input signal shape but with a larger amplitude.

In this sense, an amplifier modulates the output of the power supply based upon the properties of the input signal.

An amplifier is effectively the opposite of an attenuator: while an amplifier provides gain, an attenuator provides loss.

A machine is a tool containing one or more parts that uses energy to perform an intended action.

Machines are usually powered by chemical, thermal, or electrical means, and are often motorized.

Historically, a power tool also required moving parts to classify as a machine.

However, the advent of electronics has led to the development of power tools without moving parts that are considered machines.
