Technology and Events

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses how technological advances have changed the very face of life in just about every way, from the clothing people wear to the way they travel, work, live and play. The paper believes that technology will continue to change lives in the future, in ways that people today cannot imagine.

From the Paper:

"Beginning at the turn of the twentieth century, technology and innovation has changed just about everything in American (and worldwide) life, from how people commute to how people spend their time on the job, at home, and in society. When people think of technology, they often think of computers, which certainly have changed the way people work. However, there has been much more innovation that has truly changed the way we live and work. Think of the invention of the first commercial automobile and the assembly line by Henry Ford in 1908 to the harnessing of air power in 1903 and the resulting growth of rocketry and jet propulsion that led to man's first steps on the moon in 1969."
