We are...Technology of the Past

My group chose the theme: technology of the 1970’s to 1990’s. We decided to find objects and people that helped promote the growth of technology throughout this time period.
Some of the items my group and I came up with include: color slides, a photo lamp, and cassette player. These items are very important because they helped promote technological growth. These items are also commonly used, and it is fun to see how technology has advanced since the time they first were invented.
To find my items for our project, I was able to borrow some items from Ms. Sanderson during class when she would pass out technological items from the 70’s to 90’s, like the photo lamp and the floppy disk. My parents helped me very much in obtaining some items because they lived during this time period and had many things having to do with technology that they held on too. I would definitely make sure my group, I gathered all our items, and ahead of time and prepared our boxes for our project earlier so we would not have had to spend an extra hour at lunch finishing our project.
Although my group and I took longer to finish, we were able to polish off everything to make our project look great and stand out. My advice to next years class would be, make sure your boxes are covered ahead of time because they take a long time to cover during your preparation period. It can make you take longer than the hour in class to finish your project.
