Melissa’s blog for week three reading

The most interesting piece from the reading is of what it discussed regarding TIFF or “Tagged Image File Format” (Cohen and Rosenzweig). I was not aware it was the best quality out of the three most known digital formats (Cohen and Rosenzweig). I found this interesting because, although the best it appeared to have the drawback of being slow to download. It was interesting to note that although TIFF is cumbersome, it appears to still have advantages such as achieving a high-grade copy (Cohen and Rosenzweig).

For possible historical topics I decided to change two of them but keeping open the possibility of Alexander Graham Bell for a choice. The changes involve the War of 1812 and Prohibition. I chose the War of 1812 because its been described as the second war for independence. However, I am intrigued about Prohibition. Therefore, my question is “What led to Prohibition and what factored into its end?”
