Technology

We chose technology during 1970-1990. We made this decision because technology is major part of the lives of all Americans. Americans use various forms of it, and each decade it improves exponentially. As we approach the present time, technology is increasingly important to society.
For items, we chose different sorts of technology. We had toy cars to represent the vehicular advances in that time. We have pictures of the first computers and other influential devices to show the beginning of the computer age. We have some gameboy games, because although originally made in japan, video games heavy influenced the American market. We added an Indiana Jones Movie Box to show effects used in movies. To decorate the box, we covering some of the boxes with aluminum foil to make it look like metal and put many floppy disks on the top to show one of the leading forms of media storage. We added many light bulbs to our project to represent the ideas that created all technology.
We acquired many of our objects in our history class magnanimously from Ms. Sanderson. The rest we got from our old homes from old technology we had laying around the house. I brought the gameboy games and several other objects. I feel we achieved the perfect amount of items.
If I could, I would plan ahead and get objects earlier. While we got what we needed on time, it was stressful in the last leg of the project. On the assembling day we only had one box and we had to scavenge for the last two. Planning ahead would give us more time to perfect our project.
For next year's class, I suggest they enjoy it and have fun with it. Chose a theme that interests you and do your best. Never give up and don't do a difficult theme.
