Who Invented Braille?<\/strong><\/p>

As early as the 18th century, various reading methods using embossing were invented, initially aimed at enabling French soldiers to read instructions at night or in difficult visibility conditions. However, these methods were too complicated and difficult for the blind.<\/p>

In 1824, a blind French student named Louis Braille heard about the method used by soldiers at night and was inspired to develop a system of symbols for the entire alphabet - which is also named after him.<\/p>

What Is the Difference Between a Drawing and an Illustration?<\/p>

From a very young age, every child learns to draw. Some of us even have artistic drawings hanging on the walls of our homes for decoration. On the other hand, the drawings in children's books are specifically called "illustrations." Why is that? What is the difference between them?<\/p>

While a drawing is solely associated with art and is meant to be beautiful or impressive, an illustration is a drawing intended to illustrate an idea, concept, or text in a non-verbal way. Illustrations generally accompany text and convey some message to the viewer, often in an original and interesting manner.<\/p>

Who Is the Largest Fish in the World?<\/p>

The whale shark is the largest of the sea fish: it can reach lengths of up to 18 meters and weigh up to about 21 tons. The shark's head is flat, and its mouth can reach a width of four meters.<\/p>

Despite its enormous size, the whale shark is not a predator. It is a very friendly shark, not dangerous at all to humans or other animals, and feeds on tiny marine creatures known as plankton. The whale shark lives in warm water areas, like the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.<\/p>
